本文介绍了千禧年队列研究（MCS）的起源、目标和结构，该研究涵盖了2000-2001年间在英国出生的约19，000人，并将其用于对他们童年生活的许多方面进行广泛的研究。我们强调了2012年11岁前五次调查的一些产出。讨论的主题是儿童发展中的社会不平等;与其他队列的比较;以前的国家队列没有很好地涵盖的领域：出生季节，父亲，种族和儿童保育;父母行为;代际联系;社会生态和英国国家之间和内部的差异。我们还讨论了所面临的挑战，国家评估的肯定开始（NESS）在绘制控制从MCS。随着该队列在2018年及以后进行第七次调查，跨生命历程领域的研究潜力只会继续增长。
This paper gives an account of the origins, objectives and structure of the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) - some 19,000 individuals born in the UK in 2000-2001 - and its use in a wide range of research on many aspects of their lives in childhood years. We highlight some of the mass of output on the first five surveys to age 11 in 2012. Topics discussed are social inequalities in child development; comparisons with other cohorts; areas not well covered by previous national cohorts: season of birth, fathers, ethnicity and childcare; parental behaviour; intergenerational links; social ecology and differences between and within UK countries. We also discuss the challenges faced by the National Evaluation of Sure Start (NESS) in drawing controls from the MCS. As the cohort marches to its seventh survey in 2018, and beyond, the potential for research across life course domains will only continue to grow.
