AnnotationChanging patterns of family wealth transfers in the UK are explored, using two nationally representative panel studies: the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). The research on which this report is based analysed receipt of past and future inheritance transfers and inter-vivo transfers (when the giver is still alive) variously by age, socio-economic group, housing tenure and parental status. A policy report, 'Navigating the age of inheritance' published at the same time, provides accompanying policy analysis and discussion. (RH).
