    This series of Key Findings draws on information provided by the Cohort ‘08 9-year-old and his or her Primary Caregiver (usually the mother, and henceforth in this report referred to as the mother). The series is based on the 7,563 9-year-olds whose families participated in the study at ages 9 months, 3 years, 5 years and 9 years old. This Key Findings report is the first in a series on the lives of these children at 9 years of age. It focuses on the lives and circumstances of these 9-year-olds in post-recession Ireland, the financial situation of their families and changes in family structure over time. It also looks at the relationship with grandparents, out-of-school care for the children and the contribution the children make to family chores

    This is the third in a series of Key Findings from the fourth wave of data collection from the Infant Cohort in Growing Up in Ireland. The families of just over 11,100 infants were first interviewed between September 2008 and March 2009, when the child at the centre of the study was 9 months old. They were re-interviewed when the child was 3 years old and again at 5 years of age. In 2016, a fourth wave of data was collected from the child’s primary caregiver (mainly their mother1), through a postal survey when the child was 7/8 years old. This Key Finding focuses on reports of children’s socio-emotional development and their behaviour, social skills, family relationships and play activities. Children’s progress in developing social and emotional skills is important for coping with relationships at school and at home, as well as being an important part of their overall well-being

    This is the first in a series of Key Findings from the fourth wave of data collection from the Infant Cohort in Growing Up in Ireland. The families of just over 11,100 infants were first interviewed between September 2008 and March 2009, when the child at the centre of the study was 9 months old. They were re-interviewed when the child was 3 years old and again at 5 years of age. In 2016, a fourth wave of data was collected from the child’s primary caregiver (mainly their mother1) through a postal survey when the child was 7/8 years old. This Key Finding focuses on mothers’ reports of how their children were doing in terms of their schooling and learning. Children’s early experiences of the classroom, their transition to formal school and their acquisition of key skills such as literacy and numeracy typically have a lasting effect on their short- and long-term educational development. At the time of the postal survey 36% of the children in the study were 7 years old and the rest were 8 years old. At this stage, most of them had been in Primary School for 2-3 years. Overall, 69% started school in 2012 (mostly in September), the remainder in 2013. Just over 1% of the children were in Junior or Senior Infants, 32% were in First Class and 66% in Second Class. Just less than 1% were in third class, home-schooled or at a special school

In addition, it looks at how the health of the 9-year-olds varies by family circumstances and by the children’s health status at ages 3 and 5
