The NLSY79 (National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979) is a long-term research study that tracks the lives of a group of U.S. individuals who were aged 14-22 in 1979. Over the decades, it has collected detailed information on their education, employment, income, health, and family life. This data helps researchers understand how people's lives and choices change over time, and how factors like education and economics influence their outcomes. It is a valuable resource for forming policies and gaining insights into social and economic trends in the United States.
