Data

We’re using some data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, a cohort of American young adults aged 14-22 at enrollment in 1979. They continue to be followed to this day, and there is a wealth of publicly available data online. I’ve downloaded the answers to a survey question about whether respondents wear glasses, a scale about their eyesight with glasses, their (NLSY-assigned 😒) race/ethnicity, their sex (presumably at birth, but unclear), their family’s income in 1979, and their age at the birth of their first child.
