Events marking the transition from childhood to adulthood for different cohorts of children in the UK.
This syntax creates datasets constructed from multiple files from the BHPS and Understanding Society. They contain detailed data for various events that mark the transition from childhood to adulthood for different cohorts of children in the U.K. The creation of these datasets was part of an Understanding Society Fellowship project entitled Transition to adulthood in the UK in an intergenerational context which had the overarching aim to provide information to enable a better understanding of how the transition from adolescence into adulthood in the UK has changed over time and whether and to what extent intergenerational family context has an increasing role in determining the types of pathways followed in the transition to adulthood.
