Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Young Life and Times Survey (YLT) originally began as a companion survey to the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (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.The aims of the YLT series are to: monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland; provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas; facilitate academic social policy analysis; provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland; give a voice to young people. An open access time-series teaching dataset has been created from the 2003-2012 YLTs - see SN 7548.The Kids’ Life and Times (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year olds) is also part of the same suite of surveys as YLT and NILT.Further information about the YLT, including publications, may be found on the Access Research Knowledge (ARK) YLT webpages. In 2024, all 16-year-olds who celebrated their 16th birthday in December 2023, and January or February 2024 were invited to participate. YLT 2024 was a split survey. YLT is part of a suite of surveys, which includes the Kids’ Life and Times (KLT) survey of P7 children (10-11 year-olds), and Northern Ireland Life and Times (NILT) survey of adults (18 years +). Main Topics: In 2024 the following topics were included in the survey: Background; Good Relations (including minority ethnic groups) - funded by the Executive Office (TEO); Refugees and Asylum Seekers funded by the Executive Office (TEO); Gender-based Violence funded by the Executive Office (TEO); Safety and Attitudes to Paramilitaries funded by the Department of Justice (DoJ); Rights funded by The Office of the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People (NICCY); Shared Education; Community Relations Equality and Diversity (CRED) Education Department of Education; Education System and Integrated Education Integrated Education Fund; Mental Health Ohio State University; Grief Education and Bereavement Support in Schools funded by Marie Curie.
