University of Essex – Understanding Society [part 2]

Understanding Society is the UK’s largest household longitudinal study. Based at the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex, the study provides vital evidence on social change and stability in everyday life. Its findings inform a wide range of organisations, including UK Government departments, charities, think tanks and businesses.

Brief: Following on from my work with this client in 2018, I was commissioned to create a new series of illustrations for a second Insights publication. Insights is the annual publication from Understanding Society that presents research of particular relevance to policymakers. This edition marked ten waves of data and coincided with a conference. The illustrations explored themes including education and training, employment, family and connection, foodbanks, health, income and wealth, polling, and youth protest.
