Since the end of the Second World War, society has been
characterised by rapid and extensive political, economic,
scientific, and technological change. Opportunities for education,
employment, human relations, and good health, have all been greatly
affected by those changes, as have all aspects of life.
Consequently, each post-war generation has been like no other
before or since. Britain, uniquely, has five large-scale life
course studies that began at intervals throughout that period. They
have shown how lives are shaped by individual characteristics,
their past and current experiences and opportunities, and so
reflect their times. This book describes those fundamental changes
that affected life chances differently in each generation, and how
governments struggled to accommodate the changes with new policies
for improving and managing the nation's capital in terms of
education, family policy, health, human rights, and economics. A
Companion to Life Course Studies provides a resource for the
interpretation of the findings and design differences in the five
studies, and the stimulus for new comparisons of life course
between these differing generations that would contribute to policy
and to understanding.
