This briefing paper summarises 25-year-olds’ experience with the labour market. More specifically, it explores the nature of the cohort members’ current jobs, and the proportion of shift workers, zero-hours contract workers, and unemployed. It also examines the links between labour market relations and self-assessed general health and mental ill health.
This briefing paper summarises 25-year-olds’ experiences of adulthood, political interest and perception of opportunities. It describes the proportion who have an interest in politics, and their perceptions of the rewards for hard work and whether they have more or less opportunity than previous generations. It also covers whether this generation feels they have control over their lives, and whether, at age 25, they feel like adults.
This briefing paper summarises the experiences of mental health problems among the Next Steps cohort at age 25. It explores the prevalence of probable mental ill health at this age, and the risk factors associated with probable psychological disturbance.

This briefing paper uses data from Next Steps (previously known as the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England) to compare life satisfaction of men and women at age 20. In particular, it explores factors related to life satisfaction, such as physical activity. As exercise is known to help improve both physical and mental health, and subjective wellbeing, there are clearly potential policy implications to encourage physical activity.
