Inhaltsangabe

Since the end of the Second World War, society has been characterised by rapid and extensive political, economic, scientific, and technological change. Britain, uniquely, has five large-scale life course studies that began at intervals throughout that period, which have shown how lives are shaped by individual characteristics, their past and current experiences and opportunities, and so reflect their times. This book describes those fundamental changes, and examines the innovations in government policy that were made in accordance with them.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Michael Wadsworth directed the first birth cohort study until 2006, reconfiguring it as a study of physical and mental change with age, adding a study of the following generation, and the collection of DNA, and writing a history of its findings during the first thirty-six years in their historical and social context in The Imprint of Time.

John Bynner directed the Centre for Longitudinal Studies and the 1958 and 1970 cohort studies within a comparative life course study framework until 2003. He also directed the Wider Benefits of Learning Research Centre and the National Research and Development Centre for Adult Literacy and Numeracy.
