Young Lives: an International Study of Childhood Poverty: Round 1, 2002

The purpose of the project is to improve understanding of the causes and consequences of childhood poverty and examine how policies affect children's well-being, in order to inform the development of future policy and to target child welfare interventions more effectively. The survey consists of three main elements: a child questionnaire, a household questionnaire and a community questionnaire.

The household data gathered is similar to other cross-sectional datasets (such as the World Bank's Living Standards Measurement Study).
