Young Life and Times Survey, 2005

<p>The <em>Young Life and Times Survey</em> (YLT) originally began as a companion survey to the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040">Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey</a> (NILT) series. It surveyed young people aged 12-17 living in the households of adults interviewed for NILT, and YLT ran alongside it from 1998-2000. Following an evaluation in 2001, the YLT series recommenced in 2003 (see SN 4826) using a completely different methodology and independent of the adult NILT. This new YLT survey uses Child Benefit records as a sampling frame.</p><p>The aims of the YLT series are to:</p><ul>
<li>monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland;</li>
<li>provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas;</li>
<li>facilitate academic social policy analysis; provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland;</li>
<li>give a voice to young people.</li>
</ul><p>

</p><p>An open access time-series teaching dataset has been created from the 2003-2012 YLTs - see SN 7548.</p><p>The <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data">Kids’ Life and Times</a> (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.</p><p>Further information about the YLT, including publications, may be found on the Access Research Knowledge (ARK) <a title="Young Life and Times Survey" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/ylt/index.html">YLT</a> webpages.</p>

<p><em>青少年生活与时态调查（Young Life and Times Survey，YLT）</em>最初是<a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040">北爱尔兰生活与时态调查（Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey，NILT）</a>系列的配套调查。它针对居住在NILT受访成人家庭中的12-17岁青少年开展调查，且于1998-2000年与NILT并行实施。2001年完成评估后，YLT系列于2003年重启（详见SN 4826），采用了完全独立于成人NILT的全新方法，并以儿童福利记录作为抽样框架。</p><p>YLT系列的核心目标包括：</p><ul><li>监测北爱尔兰青少年对社会政策及政治议题的态度；</li><li>构建关键社会政策领域态度的时间序列数据；</li><li>推动学术层面的社会政策分析，同时为北爱尔兰更广泛的用户群体提供免费开放的公共态度资源；</li><li>为青少年群体提供发声渠道。</li></ul><p>基于2003-2012年YLT数据的开放获取时间序列教学数据集已建成，详情可参考SN 7548。</p><p><a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data">儿童生活与时态调查（Kids’ Life and Times，KLT）</a>针对P7阶段儿童（10-11岁），亦是与YLT及NILT同属一套的调查体系成员。</p><p>关于YLT的更多信息（含相关出版物），可访问Access Research Knowledge（ARK）的<a title="Young Life and Times Survey" href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/nilt/ylt/index.html">YLT</a>网页。
