Our Lives, Social Futures and Life Pathways of Young People in Queensland: The Social Futures and Life Pathways (“Our Lives”) project is a longitudinal study of young people from Queensland, Australia, who began high school in 2006 when they were aged 12/13 years. By tracking this cohort over time, the project assesses the impact of social, political and economic developments on educational, workforce, partnering, family and housing transitions in early adulthood. It enhances scholarly understanding and public policy formation in these domains by monitoring stability and change in the values, aspirations, health and well-being of young people as these transitions take place. The project combines large scale survey research with in-depth qualitative interviewing to assess how global uncertainty and social traditions, institutions and inequalities structure the life pathways of young people in Australia.
