NLSA (National Longitudinal Survey of the Adult)

The National Longitudinal Survey of the Adult (NLSA) is a research study conducted by the U.S. government that tracks a group of adults over many years. It collects detailed information on their employment, education, health, income, and family life. The goal is to understand how people's lives change over time and what factors influence their economic stability and well-being. Researchers use this data to analyze trends, inform policies, and improve social programs. Essentially, NLSA helps paint a comprehensive picture of adult life trajectories in the United States.
