UKHLS is the largest household panel study in the world and tracks individuals within families over time and hence is a vital resource for science and policy.
Understanding Society will every year track the fortunes, attitudes and circumstances of 100,000 people living in Britain. The focus is on the household, looking at how different members of a family relate to each other.
