The doctoral project, titled: ''Youth in Transition: Longitudinal comparisons of youth transitions in the UK using cohort and synthetic cohort data''will make use of pre-existing nationally representative longitudinal datasets in order to produce multivariate statistical analysis of key identified youth transitions. The changing nature of individuals given social and economic circumstances promotes diverging youth transitions in many areas, ranging from education to employment, from housing to marriage. In comparison to previous generations, indeed even their parent's generation, young people are remaining in education longer, and thus out of the full-time employment market longer. Living away from home, as well as cohabiting with a partner before marriage are also becoming even more common. The very concept of marriage has altered-with the youth of today pushing back marriage much later than previous youth. Marriage is not the only thing that is being pushed back, the time individuals decide to have children themselves has also been pushed back. Alongside this the number of children being born is itself continuing to decline. All these examples demonstrate a common identifiable theme-key points within an individual's youth life course. These key points, or transitions will make up the bulk of this doctoral project. This research seeks to identify, understand, and finally explain these key historical changes that are identified through a detailed comparative cohort analysis. The National Child Development Study (1958) as well as the British Cohort Study (1970) offer two examples of older birth cohort studies that offer a nationally representative sample that supports the utilisation of comparative analyses. The issue however is that from the end of the British Cohort study and the commencement of the Millennium Cohort Study (2000-2) there is a large gap of 30 years that could impede a project seeking to understand such historical youth transitions within the life course. To combat this data related challenge this project aims to construct synthetic cohorts of youth data from the British Household Panel Survey (1991-2009) and Understanding Society (also known as the UK Household Longitudinal Study) (2009-). Combined, this synthetic data as well as the older birth cohorts will be used to achieve the aim of this research project. To study and understand youth transitions in a historical and life course context.

博士项目，标题：“转型中的青年：使用队列和合成队列数据对英国青年转型进行纵向比较将利用现有的全国代表性纵向数据集，以便对关键的青年转型进行多变量统计分析。鉴于社会和经济环境，个人的性质不断变化，促使青年在从教育到就业、从住房到婚姻等许多领域的过渡出现分歧。与前几代人相比，甚至与他们的父辈相比，年轻人受教育的时间更长，因此离开全职就业市场的时间更长。离家居住以及婚前同居也变得越来越普遍。婚姻的概念已经改变了，今天的年轻人推迟结婚的时间比以前的年轻人晚得多。婚姻不是唯一被推迟的事情，个人决定自己生孩子的时间也被推迟了。与此同时，出生的儿童数量本身也在继续下降。所有这些例子都表明了一个共同的可识别的主题-在一个人的青年生活过程中的关键点。这些关键点或过渡将构成本博士项目的大部分。本研究旨在识别，理解，并最终解释这些通过详细的比较队列分析确定的关键历史变化。全国儿童发展研究（1958年）以及英国队列研究（1970年）提供了两个老年出生队列研究的例子，提供了一个全国代表性的样本，支持利用比较分析。然而，问题是，从英国队列研究结束到千年队列研究（2000-2年）开始，有30年的巨大差距，这可能会阻碍一个试图了解生命历程中这种历史性青年转变的项目。为了应对这一与数据有关的挑战，该项目旨在构建来自英国家庭小组调查（1991-2009年）和理解社会（也称为英国家庭纵向研究）（2009年至今）的青年数据的合成群组。综合这些合成数据以及大龄出生队列，将用于实现本研究项目的目标。在历史和生活过程的背景下研究和理解青年的转变。
