Comparable indicators

ESDS Longitudinal has compiled an MS Excel database of comparable indicators that allows users of the core longitudinal studies to look up a selection of variables from each study that match, or are equivalent to, the Office for National Statistics Primary set of harmonised concepts and questions. This is ongoing work.

The resource currently covers all waves/sweeps of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE). Variables from the two most recent sweeps of the National Child Development Study (NCDS) and the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) are also covered.
