The project carries out secondary analyses using data from large representative cohort studies from Germany (NEPS), the Netherlands (pre-COOL), Norway (BONDS, MoBa) and the United Kingdom (BCS1970, MCS). Depending on socioeconomic and ethnic-cultural backgrounds, the data show early inequalities in language, cognitive, and emotional regulation long before children go to kindergarten and elementary school. In addition, analyses of moderating effects of kindergarten quality, family living conditions, and differences between countries and their attitudes and policies on cultural and linguistic diversity are presented.
ISOTIS is a project of the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020). For its implementation, 17 partners from 11 countries are working together.
