Errata for 2012 Child/Young Adult Release
Most Recently Posted Errata/Updates
Data Addition: Relationship of person(s) providing financial assistance [posted 2/22/2016]
In 2006, a new series of questions about receiving help with living expenses from anyone other than a spouse/partner was added to the income section of the Young Adult questionnaire and has been asked in all subsequent rounds. One question in this series, Q15-74C, has been inadvertently been omitted from public release. Q15-74C asks respondents how the person(s) helping was/were related to them. In 2006, this question only allowed the selection of one relationship. From 2008 on, this question has allowed for multiple relationships to be selected. These data will be included in our next data release. Users who wish to access these variables now can download YoungAdult_2006-2012_Q15-74C.zip and merge it into their existing data extract(s).

R25-2012 NLSY79 Child/YA: 2012 Family background & Maternal HH Composition data update (1/9/2015)
In the current public release (December 26, 2014), a number of Child/YA cases were inadvertently assigned missing values for the following family background variables: HGCDOI2012 and ATTSCH2012.
RNUM |
Q NAME |
VARIABLE TITLE |
YEAR |
|
C55261.00 |
ATTSCH2012 |

2012 |
|
C55262.00 |
HGCDOI2012 |
HIGHEST GRADE COMPLETED BY MOTHER AS OF DATE OF INTERVIEW |
2012 |
As a result, the counts for the following Maternal HH Composition variables do not reflect the mother's status in 2012 for the child cases with missing values on ATTSCH and HGCDOI:

# ADULTS IN HH OF MOTHER WITH HIGHEST GRADE COMPLETED = 14-15 YRS |

The following zipped csv format data file contains the updated data for all 6 variables (plus child public ID) for these Child/YA cases>
R25-2012NLSY79ChildYA_Errata_FamBackgroundHHComp (comma-delimited)
NOTE: In the next data release, these items will be updated in the public merged file and this errata will no longer be needed. Users may also wish to consider the alternative "Mother's Highest Grade Completed" constructed variable as of May 1 (HGCREV2012), which contains the full number of valid cases for all children born to interviewed mothers in 2012. HGCREV2012 is a child-based version of HGCREV12 from the mother's main Youth record, which is created to maintain consistency and prevent regression in years of schooling when respondents return to school in a new field:
