About the Centre for Longitudinal Studies

The Centre for Longitudinal Studies manages Britain’s birth cohort studies – a unique set of scientific surveys that have been following generations of Britons through the whole of their lives. Evidence from the studies has shaped the response to some of the biggest social and public health challenges of our time, including obesity, mental health, social mobility, and poverty.

We are based at IOE’s Social Research Institute and we receive our core funding from the Economic and Social Research Council.
