The first seven sweeps of the study were conducted annually (2004-2010) when the study was funded and managed by the Department for Education (DfE). The study mainly focused on the educational and early labour market experiences of young people. In 2015 Next Steps was restarted, under the management of the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) at the UCL Faculty of Education and Society (IOE) and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. The Next Steps Age 25 survey was aimed at increasing the understanding of the lives of young adults growing up today and the transitions out of education and into early adult life. The Next Steps Age 32 Survey took place between April 2022 and September 2023 and is the ninth sweep of the study. The Age 32 Survey aimed to provide data for research and policy on the lives of this generation of adults in their early 30s. This sweep also collected information on many wider aspects of cohort members' lives including health and wellbeing, politics and social participation, identity and attitudes as well as capturing personality, resilience, working memory and financial literacy. 2019 Web Survey The Next Steps 2019 Web Survey took place between August and September 2019, in between the Age 25 and Age 32 Surveys. It was conducted by CLS. CLS conducts annual 'keeping-in-touch' exercises in which Next Steps participants are asked to confirm or update their contact details. The 2019 Web Survey was conducted as part of the 2019 keeping-in-touch exercise. The data and documentation are available under SN 5545, and were added as part of the nineteenth edition . Next Steps survey data is also linked to the National Pupil Database (NPD), the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), the Individualised Learner Records (ILR) and the Student Loans Company (SLC). Polygenic Indices Polygenic indices are available under Special Licence SN 9438. Derived summary scores have been created that combine the estimated effects of many different genes on a specific trait or characteristic, such as a person's risk of Alzheimer's disease, asthma, substance abuse, or mental health disorders, for example. These polygenic scores can be combined with existing survey data to offer a more nuanced understanding of how cohort members' outcomes may be shaped. There are now two separate studies that began under the LSYPE programme. The second study, Our Future (LSYPE2) (available at the UK Data Service under GN 2000110), began in 2013 and will track a sample of over 13,000 young people annually from ages 13/14 through to age 20.

SN 8656 - Next Steps: Sweeps 1-9, 2004-2023: Secure Access includes sensitive variables from the main Next Steps survey from Sweep 1 (age 14) to Sweep 9 (age 32). A version of these variables were previously available under SN 7104. University identifiers for Sweeps 6 and 7 have also been reinstated and are available in the young person file. International Data Access Network (IDAN) These data are now available to researchers based outside the UK. Selected UKDS SecureLab/controlled datasets from the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) and the Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) have been made available under the International Data Access Network (IDAN) scheme, via a Safe Room access point at one of the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/securelab-access-to-non-ons-data_idan.pdf" target="_blank">UKDS IDAN partners. Prospective users should read the UKDS SecureLab application guide for non-ONS data for researchers outside of the UK via Safe Room Remote Desktop Access</a>. Further details about the IDAN scheme can be found on the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/about/research-and-development/international-data-access-network-idan/" target="_blank">UKDS International Data Access Network</a> webpage and on the IDAN website. Latest edition information For the third edition (September 2024), sensitive variables for Sweep 9 (Age 32) have been added to the study. The main interview file includes unit group (4-digit) SOC2010, SOC20 and SIC2007 codes for current job, first job, job at age 25 and partner's job; university from which obtained undergraduate and post-graduate degrees; detailed long standing illness, national identity, gender and day date variables. In addition there is a separate pregnancy histories dataset which includes variables on type of fertility treatment received. Main Topics: The Safeguarded (EUL) version of Next Steps is provided alongside the Secure Access version. Additional variables which are available under Secure Access are from the following categories: <ul> <li>date of interview (detailed)</li><li>date of birth (detailed)</li><li>detailed disabilities</li><li>full or detailed SOC/SIC codes</li><li>child care arrangements</li><li>higher Education identifiers</li><li>potential school identifiers</li></ul> In this revised deposit, the variable denoting number of rooms in the house has been top-coded and there are truncated versions of SOC and SIC codes, longstanding illness and subject studied at university, The original version of the variables containing the detailed values is available under Secure Access.  2004 - 202301 January 200424 September 2023 England IndividualsFamilies/householdsNational The study population consists of young people who were in Year 9 in English state and independent schools and pupil referral units in February 2004.
