Young Lives
Overview
About this cohort
Young Lives is a longitudinal, mixed-methods, cohort study that for more than 20 years has followed the lives of 12,000 children - now young adults - and their families in Ethiopia, India (the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), Peru and Vietnam (Favara et al. 2021). The sample in each country consists of two cohorts: a Younger Cohort of approximately 2,000 participants who were 1 year old when the first round of the survey was carried out in 2002, and an Older Cohort of approximately 1,000 participants (700 in Peru) who were then 8 years old. The study has conducted 7 rounds of data collection, with its most recent completed in 2023-24. Young Lives aims to improve our understanding of the factors that promote and constrain equality of opportunity, and social mobility, across the first three decades of life, and between generations, in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
