Research
Most of Emily's research has been focused on ageing. Her main interests in this field are families, households and social support in later life, especially in relationship to health; trends and differentials in health and disability, and the long term consequences of marital and reproductive history for health and social support. Emily's research has involved analysis of data from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study (ONS LS)and she previously led and is now a senior associate of the team which provides support to academic users of this resource (CeLSIUS) now based at University College, London. Emily's current research includes work on a European Research Council Advanced Grant project on Family life courses, intergenerational exchanges and later life health in Europe and research on how social interactions over the life course may be related to later life cognitive function.
