First published in 1997, this study of 9,000 people born in the
same week in 1970, who have been followed up since birth, has
produced a unique picture of life for those in their mid 20s - a
year before the new Labour Government took office. The new survey
shows a fractured society with clear evidence of an increasing gulf
between those 'getting on' with their careers and blooming and
those who are being left behind. The polarisation between those
'getting on' and those 'getting nowhere' was primarily about
financial and career achievement but was also reflected in almost
every other area of their lives. A theme running throughout the
book is what characterises successful integration into adult life,
as opposed to marginalisation and social exclusion which is
encountered by increasing numbers of young people.
