Life at age 17 – latest findings from the Growing Up in Scotland study

Join us for an in-depth webinar presenting the latest findings from the Growing Up in Scotland study, a major longitudinal research project that has been tracking the lives of thousands of children across Scotland since 2005. This session will focus on the experiences of cohort members as they reach 17–18 years old, offering a unique snapshot of life at this stage.

The report covers a wide range of topics, including education and training, health and wellbeing, relationships, lifestyle and activities, and aspirations for the future. Presentations will be delivered by members of the team at the Scottish Centre for Social Research (ScotCen), highlighting key insights and trends from the study.

Following the presentations, a speaker from the Scottish Government will respond to the findings, providing context on how this evidence informs policy and practice. There will also be a Q&A session, giving you the chance to explore the findings further and discuss their implications.

This webinar is ideal for anyone interested in the lives of Scotland’s young people, including policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and the wider public.
