The objectives of this report are to describe the first round sample and the sampling design of Young Lives in Peru, and to derive appropriate sampling weights needed to use the data. In addition, by comparing Young Lives with nationally representative surveys that were carried out at the same time that the Young Lives sample was collected, we provide an assessment of potential biases in the Young Lives data. Finally, the comparison between the national census data and Young Lives allows us to suggest potential poststratification weights that may be used to adjust Young Lives sample estimates to a known population at national or regional level.
