Millennium Cohort Study: initial findings from the Age 11 survey

This volume presents initial findings on a number of key topics arising from the fifth survey of the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), carried out when the children were aged around 11 years old. It draws attention to some of the important features of contemporary 11-year-olds’ lives, particularly those that feed into current policy agendas. It also places this information in the context of what we already know about these children, going back 10 years to when they were first surveyed at around 9 months old. By doing so, it demonstrates the critical value of a cohort study such as the MCS.
