SEVEN YEARS IN THE LIVES OF BRITISH FAMILIES
Evidence on the dynamics of social change from the British Household
Panel Survey
Edited by Richard Berthoud and Jonathan Gershuny, Institute for Social
and Economic Research, University of Essex, UK
This unique study provides important new insights into the dynamics of
Britain's social and economic life - in family structures and
relationships; in employment and household incomes; and in housing,
health and political affiliations.
A total of 10,000 adults (from 5,500 households) were interviewed every
year between 1991 and 1997, providing a clear picture of the important
events in their lives. Seven years in the lives of British families:
* provides a comprehensive analysis of longitudinal data from the
British Household Panel Survey;
* reveals significant changes and trends in family structures and
experiences which have implications for future social policy;
* presents a more subtle and detailed study of social and economic
processes than 'snapshot' surveys can provide.

Berthoud; Patterns of household and family formation - John Ermisch and
