Life in Kyrgyzstan Study (LiK)
The LiK Study is a research-based, open-access, multi-topic longitudinal survey of households and individuals in Kyrgyzstan, which started in 2010. It tracks the same 3,000 households and over 8,000 individuals over time, covering all seven Kyrgyz regions (oblasts) and the two cities of Bishkek and Osh. All members of the participating households have been followed in each wave since 2010, and any new household members are added to the survey each wave and tracked as well.
