Researchers: A/Pr Sally Brinkman (Principal investigator) ,  Prof John Lynch ,  Prof Sheena Reilly

Brief description The amount of language stimulation from parent to child could be the key driver behind intergenerational inequality. Children learn language through social interaction and this study will significantly enhance our current understanding of exposure to language in the child's home environment. The study will demonstrate how inequalities in the early years have far reaching consequences for later health and development.
