CPC-CG/S3RI Webinar: Covid-19: Opportunities & challenges for Britain's National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes & Lifestyles | Cath Mercer Youtube. 2022
This joint CPC-CG/S3RI webinar was held on Thursday 19 May at 14:00 BST. Cath Mercer from University College London gave a talk entitled: The COVID-19 pandemic: opportunities & challenges for Britain's National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles 'Natsal'. The National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles Natsal are large probability-sample bio-behavioural surveys, representative of the British population. The three decennial Natsals to date have interviewed 45,000 men and women, spanning those born through much of the 20th Century. Natsal's repeat cross-sectional design enables a contemporary picture to be presented while also capturing generational changes and broad societal shifts through the measurement of both period and birth cohort effects. Natsal provides evidence of the context, influences and consequences of sexual lifestyles, and is vital for informing national and international sexual health interventions, strategies, and guidelines. Preparations for a fourth Natsal were being finalised in March 2020 just as the UK entered its first national lockdown in response to COVID-19. This talk will reflect on the opportunities and challenges for Natsal brought about by the global pandemic, including the design and rapid delivery of 'Natsal-COVID', a web-panel survey, and the methodological adaptations required to re-start Natsal-4 at a time of continued uncertainty regarding COVID-19, and will conclude with a discussion of the possible implications for the future of Natsal as well as other social surveys post-pandemic.

CPC Webinar: 'A new look at the geography of housing careers in Great Britain' | Rory Coulter Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 25 February. Rory Coulter, UCL Department of Geography, presented 'A new look at the geography of housing careers in Great Britain'. Housing inequality has been a major focus of UK public policy debates during the last decade. Much of the attention has centred on intergenerational disparities and in particular the tendency for recent cohorts of young adults to delay entry into homeownership. However, surprisingly little is known about the geography of housing careers and the ways these may have changed over time. This presentation introduces ongoing project research examining spatial variation in housing careers across Great Britain. The talk has two dimensions. First, preliminary results from cross-sectional and longitudinal survey analysis will be presented. Second, the talk will report on the process of assembling, validating and analysing a new resource for geographical analysis of migration and housing careers. This is being created by repurposing a range of non-traditional data resources including (a) Electoral and Consumer Register data, (b) commercial data on private lettings from Zoopla and (c) administrative property transactions records compiled by the Land Registry/Registers of Scotland.

CPC Webinar: 'Accelerated School-to-Work transition in Britain: Still true?' | Alina Pelikh Youtube. 2020
CPC Webinar: Accelerated School-to-Work transition in Britain: Still true? given by Alina Pelikh, from UCL on 18 June 2020. This paper investigates whether the British pattern of the transition to adulthood with an early transition from school to work still exists. We apply sequence analysis to combined life histories from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and the Understanding Society study (UKHLS) to gain a holistic picture of how education and employment trajectories of young adults born between 1974 and 1990 in England and Wales differ by birth cohort, gender, and socio-economic background. Next, we investigate how various trajectories lead to inequalities in labour market outcomes in later life. Around half of young people in the sample follow the rapid school-to-work trajectories with around one third of young adults obtaining a higher education degree by age 26. The distinctive British early transition from school to work is still prevalent, although trajectories have become more complex and precarious, in particular among young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Yet, the decrease in the direct school-to-work trajectories among the youngest cohort was replaced by the prolonged stay in education and increase in part-time employment. The proportion of university graduates from lower socio-economic backgrounds has increased among the youngest cohort yet remains disproportionally low. Consequently, the chances of being in professional and managerial occupations remain significantly lower among highly educated young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

CPC Seminar: 'Union dissolution, residential mobility and housing in Britain' | Julia Mikolai Youtube. 2018
Julia Mikolai is a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews. She is currently working on the PartnerLife project (https://partnerlifeproject.org/), a comparative project which explores the interrelationships between partner relationships, residential relocations, and housing in the life course in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. Julia holds a PhD in social statistics and demography from the University of Southampton. Her PhD research investigated the intersection of partnership experiences and the transition to motherhood in 16 European countries and the United States using multi-state event history models. Julia's background is in sociology and demography; she studied at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, at Utrecht University, and at the European Doctoral School of Demography. Partner relationships, residential relocations and housing are crucial to people's well-being and are known to be connected with each other. However, many aspects of this connection have remained under-researched. In this presentation, Julia aims to fill some of these knowledge gaps by showcasing findings from the PartnerLife project. For example, she shows that separation leads to elevated mobility levels and that the risk of a move remains high even several years after separation in England and Wales. Additionally, she examines housing tenure trajectories of separated men and women in Britain applying sequence analysis to data from the British Household Panel Survey.

Exaggeration in Britain's old age 'time bomb' Top News US website. 2013
Article on topnews.us titled "Exaggeration in Britain's old age 'time bomb'" is dedicated to John MacInnes and Jeroen Spijker's BMJ article. Their article argues that the idea that dependent older people represent a great demographic challenge of our age is exaggerated as current measurements wrongly assume that all people that have reached state pension age are dependent. In addition, female and older workers' labour force participation can still be increased, which would lessen the financial burden of those who sustain the elderly.
