These dataset were compiled as a result of work done to improve the quality and consistency of the spells of employment collected for all main respondents of the NCDS and BCS. The information is based on data collected when the respondents were aged 24 (NCDS4), 33 (NCDS5) and 42 years (NCDS6) and  BCS70 sweeps 5, 6 and 7. The work was undertaken as part of the Gender Equality Network Project (GeNet), co-ordinated at Cambridge University, with Professors Shirley Dex and Heather Joshi, which examined the occupational mobility of men and women over the life-course, using the retrospective employment histories.
