The LIVES-FORS Cohort Study (LCS) is a longitudinal annual survey following a cohort of young adults born between 1988 and 1997 who grew up in Switzerland (initial N = 1,691). The LCS was launched in 2013 and complements the Swiss Household Panel (SHP) by overrepresenting the second generation of immigrants (‘secondos’). The principal aim of the study is to observe the transition into adulthood with a focus on the life course and on vulnerability processes, comparing participants whose parents arrived in Switzerland as adults to participants whose parents have grown up in Switzerland. The LCS provides rich data both on the factual (such as education, employment and financial situation) and on the self-judgement (wellbeing, personality and health, for example) dimensions of respondents’ lives. The first wave of the LCS used a life-history calendar to collect information on each respondent’s past life trajectory. In this first wave, several life trajectories were investigated (residence, cohabitation, couple’s relationship, family, activities and health). This paper provides an overview of the LCS with a specific focus on the first four waves (the last data were released in December 2017).

LIVES-FORS队列调查：在瑞士长大的年轻人的纵向多元化样本

LIVES-FORS队列研究（LCS）是一项纵向年度调查，是对一组在1988年至1997年之间出生于瑞士的年轻人（最初的N = 1,691）进行的年度调查。LCS于2013年启动，它通过代表第二代移民（“ secondos”）来补充瑞士家庭小组（SHP）。这项研究的主要目的是观察生命成年和脆弱性过程，并将父母成年到达瑞士的参与者与父母在瑞士长大的参与者进行比较。LCS提供有关受访者生活的事实（例如教育，就业和财务状况）和自我判断（例如幸福，性格和健康）方面的丰富数据。LCS的第一波浪潮使用生活史日历收集有关每个受访者过去生活轨迹的信息。在第一波中，研究了几种生活轨迹（居住，同居，夫妻关系，家庭，活动和健康状况）。本文提供了LCS的概述，特别着重于前四个浪潮（最新数据于2017年12月发布）。
