The Longitudinal Cohort Study is a 15-year nationwide study on Filipino adolescents that aims to put a human face to the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), and inform policy making and programming on health, education, and other key areas of human capital development for today’s and tomorrow’s young people. In essence, it is a study of the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the Filipino 10-year olds from 2015 when the study started up to 2030.
