AnnotationThe British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) is the first large scale enquiry in this country to follow the members of a sample of adults over a long sequence of years, based on a sample of more than 5,000 households identified in 1991. "Seven years in the lives of families" is intended to use the findings of the BHPS to summarise various facets of family life and circumstances: patterns of household and family formation; work and money; work, jobs and job mobility; household incomes; housing and residential mobility; measures of changing health; and politics. The final chapter considers the family and life courses. (RH).
