Growing Up in Australia has been such a massive success that it has inspired other “Growing Up” studies.

Growing Up in New Zealand

Growing Up in New Zealand includes more than 6,000 New Zealand children and their families. The study has been following the lives of these children since 2009 and 2010, collecting data from families before their children were born.

Growing Up in Scotland

Growing Up in Scotland started in 2005, with two cohorts: a “Birth” cohort and a “Child” cohort. The Birth cohort consists of around 5,000 children born in 2004/5. The Child cohort consists of around 3,000 children who were born in 2002/3. There is now also a second Birth cohort of children born in 2010/11.
