- This monograph is based on extensive mixed methods research. Conducted between 2014 and 2019 - as part of Friedman’s ESRC Future Leaders Grant - the fieldwork was undertaken in two stages. First, successive waves of the 2013-2016 ONS Labour Force Survey were pooled for descriptive and regression analysis. Second, four in-depth case studies were undertaken at hard-to-access elite organisations; a national television broadcaster, a large multinational accountancy firm, an architecture practice and with self-employed actors. This fieldwork involved bespoke surveys of staff at each firm, participant observation of interviews and promotion panels and 175 semi-structured interviews.
