Youth Cohort

A youth cohort refers to a group of young people born around the same time, typically tracked over years to study their behaviors, experiences, and development. Researchers analyze these groups to understand trends in education, employment, health, and social attitudes as they grow older. It helps to identify how various factors influence youth over time and can inform policies to better support young people's needs. Essentially, a youth cohort provides a focused lens on a specific generation, offering insights into their unique challenges and opportunities.
