Families and relationships in four British cohort studies
01 Oct 2024, 13:00 – 14:00
This webinar highlights some examples of research on families and relationships using the British cohort studies.
It will illustrate a wide range of measures that relate to the characteristics of an individual’s family of origin and own family formation behaviours (household composition, fertility, partnerships, living arrangements, etc.).
It will showcase the value of taking a life course approach and look at changes in family dynamics over time and across cohorts, and highlight how it can be effectively combined with other research areas including health and ageing.
This online event will be particularly useful for researchers and early career researchers.
