NLSM (National Longitudinal Survey of Men)

The National Longitudinal Survey of Men (NLSM) was a major research study conducted by the U.S. government that tracked a group of men over several decades to understand their employment, education, and life experiences. By collecting detailed data over time, researchers could analyze how factors like education, socioeconomic background, and personal choices influence life outcomes such as career development, income, and family stability. The NLSM provided valuable insights into the long-term patterns of men's lives, helping policymakers and researchers better understand social and economic mobility.
