The National Longitudinal Surveys Program Presented: Budapest, Hungary, 10th Sienna Group Meeting, November 2003 Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLS General, NLSY79, NLSY97, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Author Keyword(s): Disadvantaged, Economically; Hispanics; Home Environment; Longitudinal Surveys; NLS Description; Sample Selection Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS), sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), are a set of surveys designed to gather information at multiple points in time on the lives and experiences of six groups of men and women. Each of the six cohorts has been selected to represent all people living in the United States at the initial interview date and born during a given period. This selection allows weighted conclusions to be drawn about the sample group that can be generalized to represent the experiences of the larger population of U.S. residents born during the same period. Sample design procedures ensure that the labor market experiences of blacks, Hispanics, youths, women, and the economically disadvantaged can be examined. The NLS also include surveys of the children born to women who participate in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). Detailed information is gathered biennially on the child's home environment and cognitive, socio-emotional, and physiological development; as they get older, these young adults report on their education, workforce participation, and fertility. This unique set of national surveys offers researchers the opportunity to study large panels of men, women, and children over significant segments of their lives. |
