A major disadvantage is that it may not include the specific information the researcher wants. Or it may not have been collected from the specific population the researcher is interested in. Another disadvantage is that the researcher/analyst didn’t participate in the survey design and data collection process, so that they may misinterpret the data.
In addition, often time the accessibility of secondary data is limited. It is difficult for researchers to get full access to a reliable and complete dataset from other agencies.

Local NGOs have reported that younger workers are more susceptible to layoffs than their older and more experienced colleagues. Could this claim potentially trigger policy changes?

Could this be considered a sampling strategy if data were to be gathered from all of them?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
