On Wednesday/Thursday 6/7 November 2002 the Institute of Education will be hosting a 2-day workshop on the National Child Development Study (NCDS) and the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70). The first day of this event will be of particular interest to researchers who may be considering using data from the most recent sweep of the surveys. The second day includes presentations of recent research findings, news of the latest sweep and plans for the future. As part of the second day Professor Heather Joshi will be presenting her findings on "Gender differences in pay and work experience" using NCDS and BCS70 data.
