National Child Development Study

The National Child Development Study (NCDS) is a significant longitudinal research project that began in the UK in 1958. It follows the lives of individuals born during a specific week in March 1958, tracking their health, education, and social circumstances over time. By gathering data on various aspects of their lives, the study aims to understand how childhood experiences influence adult outcomes. This research provides valuable insights into child development and informs policies and programs to improve the lives of children and families.
