Abstract:
The National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY),
developed jointly by Human Resources Development Canada and Statistics
Canada, is a comprehensive survey which follows the development of
children in Canada and paints a picture of their lives. The survey
monitors children's development and measures the incidence of various
factors that influence their development, both positively and
negatively.

The second cycle, carried out in 1996 and 1997, interviewed parents of
the same children as Cycle 1 and provides unique insights into the
evolution of children and their family environments over a two-year
period. The NLSCY will continue to collect information on these same
children every two years as they move into youth and adulthood.
