The Growing Up in Ireland study team cordially invites you to the launch of its latest report:
Growing Up in Ireland: Social-Emotional and Behavioural Outcomes in Early Adolescence by Elizabeth Nixon (Trinity College Dublin).
This report documents the social, emotional and behavioural outcomes of the 13-years-olds in the Growing Up in Ireland (GUI) study and examines factors that are associated with these outcomes. The analysis is based on data collected from over seven thousand families in Cohort ’98 (Child Cohort) of Growing Up in Ireland interviewed first at Wave 1 (2007) when the children were 9 years of age, and again at Wave 2 (2011) when the children were 13 years of age. This was a key stage in the lives of Cohort ’98 as they transitioned from primary to secondary school - and in the context of the Great Recession of 2008-2013.
The report will be launched by Bernie McNally, Assistant Secretary General at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. Joseph Duffy, CEO of Jigsaw, will be the respondent.
