The UK Household Longitudinal Study

Participants Zone

Findings

We want participants to be the first to know about any findings from Understanding Society . So as soon as we find anything out, we share it with you here on the Participants’ website.

It’s early days in the survey and so far the findings we have published are based on responses from around 1500 of you. As more and more of you take part in the study, the findings we publish will be based on larger numbers of people and take on even greater significance especially for the researchers who will be using them.

When we interview you in the future, we will be able to compare how things have changed since we last spoke to you.

Thanks again for taking part and don’t forget to come back again to check out any new findings we publish.
