Welcome to our news and blogs section. Here you’ll find the latest developments and insights from across our longitudinal studies.
Millennials who faced family financial hardship, parents’ separation or violence in the home during childhood are more likely to have mental health difficulties in their early 30s.
Next Steps is following the lives of around 16,000 people in England born in 1989-90. The Age 32 Sweep took place between April 2022 and September 2023. Initial findings from age 32 paint a picture of how this generation is managing careers, finances and parenthood against a backdrop of unprecedented social change.
Just one in five 32-year-olds in England think immigration has a negative impact on the economy while less than a third believe the number of immigrants should be reduced.
While parenthood is linked with better mental health, new UCL research reveals social and economic circumstances also matter.
In this webinar recording, explore the new data available from Next Steps, learn why this national cohort study of millennials is such a valuable research resource and discover some of the first findings at age 32.
Working women in their early 30s in England are paid less than men of the same age, in the same types of jobs, who have similar levels of education and work experience.
Two fifths of 32-year-olds in England want children – or more children, if they are already parents – but only one in four of them are actively trying to conceive.
Data from the Next Steps Age 32 Sweep are now available to download from the UK Data Service.
