National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY)

The National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) is a long-term research project that follows a group of young Americans over many years. It collects detailed information on their education, employment, health, and personal experiences to understand how different factors influence their life outcomes. Conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the NLSY provides valuable data for policymakers, researchers, and educators to analyze trends and develop programs that support youth development and success.
