The 2014 Longitudinal and International Study of Adults (LISA) master and administrative data are now available for use by researchers at the Atlantic Research Data Centre. The Longitudinal and International Study of Adults aims to improve our understanding of what is happening in the lives of Canadians so we can see what services they require, and what kinds of information they need to support their decision making about today and the future. Subjects covered by LISA 2014 include: education, households and housing, health, income and spending, and labour.
LISA results can shed light on:
- Long-term benefits of postsecondary education
- Transience in the workplace and across the labour force
- Families coping with complex issues such as job loss and poor health
- Standards of living for retirees and changes that may occur over time
LISA data users include all levels of government, researchers, educators, learning institutions and organizations. These data are used to influence the development of services, ensure the development of effective policies and service provision to the people most in need
