Eleven plus: life chances and family income

This long-term study tracking children born into low and high-income families reveals some families remain trapped in poverty despite a decade of economic growth in Australia. 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.
