Social Change: The 1975-1989 birth cohort: Evidence from the BHPS

This research presentation explores the contextual background and changes in the lives of the 1975-1989 birth cohort, providing evidence of social change from the British Household Panel Survey. It examines persistent inequality, intra and intergenerational movement, and transitions in the early 21st century. The study focuses on youth sociology and the trajectories of young people's careers, including their educational attainment and labor market outcomes. (500 characters)
