Data linkage in VET research: opportunities, challenges and principles
This paper provides a broad overview of the nature of data linkage, highlights possible uses in the VET sector and reviews key challenges data linkage presents as a research methodology. Using the insights gained from past data linkage projects and taking into account the privacy and ethical concerns, a set of principles for data linkage are presented. These provide researchers with a set of basic steps to draw on when embarking upon a data linkage project. Finally, future directions for data linkage in VET research are explored.
