National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth - Cycle 1 (nlscy)

The National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) is a
long-term study of Canadian children that follows their development and
well-being from birth to early adulthood. The NLSCY began in 1994 and is
jointly conducted by Statistics Canada and Human Resources Development
Canada. 

The study is designed to collect information about factors influencing a
child’s social, emotional and behavioural development and to monitor the
impact of these factors on the child’s development over time. 

The survey covers a comprehensive range of topics including the health
of children, information on their physical development, learning and
behaviour as well as data on their social environment (family, friends,
schools and communities).
