Publications and Papers

The Youth Development Study (YDS) continues to examine the consequences of work and other formative experiences in adolescence for the transition to adulthood, as well as the effects of experiences during this transition, for mental health, for economic attainment, and multiple facets of behavioral adjustment. The research has important policy implications in view of the highly prevalent character of adolescent work and recent debates about the long-term significance of this trend for young people. The YDS Publications and Papers is a paper series based on the YDS data archive.

The list of YDS Publications and Papers (PDF), and the individual papers from the study, are available from the Life Course Center. Please send inquiries to:
