Introducing longitudinal population studies

In this event, Oliver Duke-Williams and Rebecca Jathoonia will introduce the ONS Longitudinal Study which contains linked census and life events data for 1% of the population of England and Wales. The study has records on over 500,000 people usually resident in either England or Wales at each point in time and is largely representative of the whole population.

Also in the webinar, Anna Scholes and Michael Dale will explore the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England: Cohort 2 (LSYPE2). Established in 2013 and managed by the Department for Education, LSYPE2 is a major study of young people that builds on the first LSYPE, now known as Next Steps. The study covers a wide range of topics including educational experiences, health and risky behaviours, relationships, future plans, employment and more.

This event will be particularly useful for those interested in longitudinal population studies, social science research and cohort research.
