NLSY97: An Introduction Monthly Labor Review 124,8 (August 2001): 3-5. Also: http://stats.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2001/08/art1abs.htm Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI); Education; Educational Attainment; Employment, Youth; Youth Problems The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 follows the lives of 12- to 16-year-olds as they make pivotal decisions regarding education and employment. This issue of the Monthly Labor Review introduces readers to the newest addition to the family of surveys sponsored by the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) Program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Termed the NLSY97, the respondents to this survey are individuals who were aged 12 to 16 on December 31, 1996. The first set of interviews began January 1997 (hence, the NLSY97), and members of this longitudinal cohort have been interviewed on an annual basis ever since. This survey is conducted as an in-person interview, with the field interviewer entering the respondent's answers into a laptop computer--sometimes called a Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI). Designed as a longitudinal survey, the NLSY97 follows the lives of these young men and women as they make pivotal decisions as to whether they should continue their education after high school or choose an occupation and enter the world of work. We follow the progression of their lives as they become independent adults, settle into careers, form relationships, and make decisions about cohabitation, marriage, and the formation of families. |
