It will take place on Teams Tuesday 30th of April 2024  from 15:00 to 16:30 (GMT+2).

The speakers will be:

Jools Kasmire from the UK Data Service (UKDS), who will give an introduction to data sets available.

Alle Bloom who will cover the response of the UKDS to the pandemic, exploring how they have adapted to researchers’ needs and reflecting on the valuable lessons they have learnt from this

Rosie Mansfield who will present evidence from four British longitudinal studies on the interrelationships between social isolation and loneliness and their correlates among older British adults before and during the lockdown. Her use of multiple successive birth cohorts, alongside a multigenerational aging cohort, provided the opportunity to examine cross-generational differences in experiences during the pandemic allowing to separate age or cohort effects from period effects.
