Linking our Lives: England and Wales since 1971 is a podcast showcasing social research making use of a study of a million people.
We talk with researchers working with data from the ONS Longitudinal Study, based on the Census and officially the largest nationally representative longitudinal dataset in the UK.
In conversations of 15-20 minutes, we discover how 50 years of information collected from people in England and Wales every 10 years since 1971 is being analysed to examine some of the big social issues facing us today.
Produced by the ESRC funded CeLSIUS project team at UCL and presented by former BBC editor Chris Garrington, the podcast shows how the ONS Longitudinal Study is influencing research, policy and practice and provides insights into how others might tap into this incredible resource.
