Longitudinal Insights

The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) has been tracking the same families since 1968, originally aimed at understanding poverty dynamics. With a unique approach that includes a diverse cross-section of the U.S. population, the study has expanded to follow families across multiple generations, providing invaluable insights into economic mobility and family resilience. As of the latest wave, the research encompasses around 25,000 individuals, revealing the evolving landscape of American households.
