| | NLS Overview |
 | | In 1986, the NLSY79 was expanded to include surveys of the children born to women in that cohort and called the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults. |
 | | In 1997, the NLS program was again expanded with a new cohort of young people aged 12 to 16 as of December 31, 1996. |
 | | As a result, many NLS survey members have been followed for many years, some for decades, allowing researchers to study large panels of men, women, and children over significant segments of their lives. |
