“…Thus far, research on the answers given at age 50 in the NCDS has only used sub-samples of the data (Elliott, 2012b). The same is true for the answers from the same cohort members at the age of 11 (Elliott, 2010; Morrow & Elliott, 2021), but were examined for differences in language skills with a larger sample (Weber, 2021).…”

This paper empirically examines differences in how 50-year-olds imagine their future. It draws on answers to an open-ended survey question in a large British cohort study—the National Child Development Study. Over 6,700 written responses about respondents’ imagined future are examined using text mining methods. Results from a relative frequency analysis and a topic model reveal differences according to gender, occupational class, and educational qualification. The cohort members’ written texts reflect different lifestyles. Men are more likely to mention sport, like golf and football, whereas women are more prone to use words related to family and friends. Respondents with a degree are more likely to write about cultural activities, such as museum or theater visits. Overall, the findings reveal gendered and socially stratified patterns in individual future perceptions, contextualized in relation to leisure, health, and family.
