Millennium Cohort Study at age 23: Explore the new data
12 Feb 2026, 13:00 – 14:00
This webinar introduces users to the Age 23 Sweep of the Millennium Cohort Study.
The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is a UK longitudinal birth cohort study that is following the lives of around 19,000 young people born across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2000-02.
The data collected from this cohort are valuable to researchers studying transitions from birth into early adulthood in key domains such as:
- family, relationships, and housing
- employment and finances
- education
- health and wellbeing
- cognition.
What’s covered in the session?
- A guide to what’s new in the MCS data, including longitudinal (repeated) measures, as well as special features at age 23
- Information about data collection and mode, as well as availability of weights.
- A spotlight on initial findings from this cohort when they are 23.
- Information on accessing for free from the UKD Data Service
This webinar will be useful to both experienced and new users of MCS data.
