Twenty-something in the 1990s Getting On, Getting By, Getting Nowhere

The focus of this book is the study of the lives, past and present, of 9000 adults who were born in the same week of 1970. A generation born in that year has grown up in quite different circumstances from one born even a decade earlier. The 70s and particularly the 80s in Britain were periods of massive social, economic and political transformation. This book follows the lives of the sample tracing the social, educational, political and lifestyle changes that have occured during this period.
