The report is the sixth stage of the Brotherhood's Life Chances Study, which has followed a group of children since 1990. It combines statistical data and qualitative analysis with insights from the children's perspectives on their own lives aged 11 and 12. A detailed summary is available online. The Brotherhood of St Laurence is calling for the federal government to ensure adequate incomes and access to education for all families.
