Commemorating the 50th anniversary of
the National Longitudinal Surveys
NLS user since 1996
The NLSY79 is unique in the information provided about parents and family dynamics, as well as aspects of child development and wellbeing. Even while the mothers are interviewed, the NLSY 79provides extensive information about fathers (my main interest)--reported by both mothers and by children. The NLSY79 is a national treasure for understanding family processes that span generations.
