National Longitudinal Survey of Youth

The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) is a long-term research project that tracks the experiences, education, employment, and other life events of a diverse group of young people over many years. Conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, it helps researchers understand how various factors influence people's life outcomes, such as career development and family formation. Participants are periodically surveyed, providing valuable data that inform policies and programs aimed at improving youth well-being and economic stability.
