Abstract: The Children of the 2020s (COT20s) study is a nationally representative birth cohort study in England. It measures the circumstances and outcomes of children, and their families, longitudinally, with annual data collections over the first 5 years of life. It is the Department for Education's Education and Outcomes Pathways Study of the Early Years (EOPS Early Years). This research brief provides a summary of key findings from COT20s on the home learning environment at age 2, including screen time and digital media use, using data from the primary caregiver survey of the second wave of data collection from the COT20s longitudinal study, conducted when the cohort children were 2 years old. Results cannot identify causal factors directly but highlight correlations worthy of further investigation.
