This year’s Society for Longitudinal and Life-Course Studies (SLLS) conference “Inequalities Across Life Courses and Generations: Interdisciplinary Perspectives” was held on September 24-26 at the University of Essex in Colchester, UK. During the conference, Anna Kiersztyn and Katarzyna Kopycka presented the latest results of comparative analyses of young adults’ occupational trajectories in a paper entitled “Career trajectories with prolonged fixed-term employment at labor market entry in Germany, Poland and the UK – does parental socioeconomic status matter?”.

After the conference, the two CNB-Young team members spent an additional day at the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex, where the Understanding Society study is based. Their prolonged stay was an opportunity to consult some final methodological issues with regard to implementing the CNB-Young data layout to UKHLS data.
