Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY).
Description
This dataset is a subset of a dataset described by Allison (2009). The original data by Allison (2009) comes from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), and contains information on 1151 teenage girls who were interviewed annually for five years, starting in 1979. The teenpov dataset is constructed by first identifying, for each girl, the first interview at which the girl is not in poverty, then excluding all subsequent interviews for that girl. After this exclusion, the dataset contains 1342 interviews from 401 girls. This procedure is described in greater detail by Sjolander (2017).
