Growing up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) is following the development of 10,000 children and their families across Australia.
LSAC tracks the children’s development and life course in today’s economic, social and political environment.
The study investigates the effect of children's social, economic and cultural environments on their wellbeing over the life course. LSAC has a broad multi-disciplinary base. It examines policy-relevant questions about development and wellbeing. The research questions span:
parenting
family relationships
education
childcare
health.
By tracking children over time, the study can determine factors associated with consistency and change in developmental pathways.
