The Young Lives team has published over 400 papers investigating many aspects of childhood and youth over 15 years. Search our publications by author, country, theme and keyword.

Our ground-breaking longitudinal research with 12,000 children growing up in 4 different countries has enabled us to create new methods and approaches for studies of this kind.

The Young Lives datasets from all our rounds of household and child surveys and our school surveys are publicly archived and available to download from the UK Data Archive.

We are a collaborative research project spanning four countries and coordinated by a small team at the University of Oxford led by Professor Jo Boyden. Here you can get a full overview of our country teams, our research partners, our advisors and our funders.
