Family life in the UK has been rapidly changing over the past decades. At the same time, economic and political uncertainty has increased, impacting employment stability and social mobility. The cost of living crisis has placed an unprecedented strain on families by limiting economic resources, reorganising how families care for their children, and disrupting activities outside the home. Young adults have been particularly hard hit, facing unemployment, difficulties with housing, and economic precarity. Through the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS), we are able to better understand how young and mid-life adults in the UK are transitioning to adulthood, forming partnerships and families, and coping with recent economic, social, and political uncertainty.

According to the United Nations, on 15 November 2022 the world’s eight billionth citizen was born in the Dominican Republic.

It took all of human history for the world to reach its first billion at the dawn of the 19th century. The pace of change then quickened as the Industrial Revolution spurred on economic growth and social change, with the landmark of the second billion reached in 1930.

Comprehensive new survey data collected in the United Kingdom Generations and Gender Survey, 2022-2023 reveals the changing face of UK families amid recent economic, social, and political turmoil. The survey team collected data on partnerships, marriages, and fertility histories from a representative sample of 7,000 people aged 18-59 in the UK. They asked respondents about their family, economic and housing situation, inter-generational relationships, as well as attitudes on issues like Brexit and the environment. The survey, carried out in the UK for the first time, was run by the University of Southampton in cooperation with the National Centre for Social Research, and the international Generations and Gender Programme.
