| Annotation | The British Cohort Study (BCS70) is a longitudinal study that has attempted to follow the lives of over 16,000 people who were born during one week in April 1970. This present study considers 16 adult outcomes for men and 17 for women, to examine the relationships between childhood background experiences and a variety of indicators of adult social well-being. As with the findings of the similar earlier National Child Development Study (NCDS), there is evidence of inter-generational transmission of certain outcomes. Cohort members who lived in social housing as children are nine times more likely to live in social housing as adults. Those whose fathers were manually employed are also more likely to be similarly employed, and those whose families were poor are more likely to have low incomes. Academic test scores and parental housing tenure stand out as two of the strongest and most consistent correlates of adult disadvantage. (RH). |
