Summary:
Researchers at ISER specialise in the production and analysis of large-scale longitudinal data. We are submitting evidence from our recent studies for the ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change, looking at factors affecting children’s wellbeing and life satisfaction. Understanding the causes of poor wellbeing amongst children and its consequences for young people’s development, education and adult outcomes depends on high quality longitudinal data if the government and its partners are to focus effort on what matters in improving children’s wellbeing. Our work here uses data collected by Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, a number of government departments and the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
