"Based on an Inaugural Professorial Lecture delivered at the Institute of Education, University of London, on 10 December 2013."
Britain is unique in the world in having a portfolio of national birth cohort studies that follow individuals from birth through childhood and into adult life. These studies have already been instrumental in providing evidence relevant to a wide range of policy issues particularly in the areas of health, child development, education, and employment. In this lecture Jane Elliott uses a vivid narrative case study to illustrate the detailed information that the British Birth Cohort studies collect about individuals and their circumstances.
