DESCRIPTION:The British Birth Cohort studies are among the most powerful t
 ools for social science researchers. By tracking the same individuals over
  decades\, we can get much stronger evidence about the real causes of soci
 al problems than by other methods. We can develop an understanding of how 
 circumstances in early life impact on later life chances. For example\, we
  can look at the factors that influence the qualifications that individual
 s obtain\, and the returns that they get from those qualifications.\n \nIn
  this presentation\, Professor Jane Elliott will introduce some of the lan
 dmark research carried out using longitudinal evidence from the cohort stu
 dies\, and examine some of the opportunities for future research as the st
 udies develop.\n
