The National Longitudinal Surveys: An Interim Assessment In: Manpower Research and Labor Economics. G. Swanson and J. Michaelson, eds. New York, NY: Sage Publications, 1979 Cohort(s): NLS General Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Longitudinal Surveys; Manpower Research; NLS Description; Research Methodology; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Unemployment; Work Attitudes; Work History Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The presentation is divided into five sections. The first contains a brief description of the origins of the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS). The second describes the study as it has evolved over the years since 1965, including a discussion of the design of the four original samples, the nature and timing of the periodic interviews, and the types of data that have been collected. The third section relates to the administration of the study, with particular reference to the allocation of responsibility for its design and execution. In the fourth, the actual and potential "products" of the project are described in terms of (1) the variety of studies, completed or in progress, that are based upon the NLS data, (2) illustrative research findings, and (3) suggestions for additional types of research for which the data are appropriate. The fifth section draws some lessons from the experience gained in administering this type of longitudinal research. |
