The NLS cohorts of Older Men, Mature Women, Young Women, and Young Men have been interviewed since the 1960's by the Bureau of the Census; the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) conducts interviews with the NLSY that was begun in 1979. Several attrition problems have been identified and solved based on this extensive experience with interviewing the same individuals over a long period. Over five years, NORC achieved a better than 95 percent retention rate with the youth cohort. Because the Young Men's cohort, begun in 1966, had the highest attrition rate (largely due to the Vietnam War), a special effort was made in 1981 to relocate non-respondents in this cohort, and 37 percent of a previously lost subsample were found. A new rule guiding Census interviewers for the older 1960s cohorts is that no respondents are to be dropped unless they are known to be dead. Studies of attrition conducted in the late 1970s show that all the NLS cohorts were still nationally-representative as of that time.

Attitudes Toward Women Working: Changes Over Time and Implications for the Labor Force Behaviors of Husbands And Wives

This chapter examines the relationship among the respondent's attitudes toward women's roles, the effect of those attitudes on work behavior, and the feedback between women's experience and later attitudes. In addition to these issues, for women married to the same spouse throughout the decade, a smaller subset of women who were married to men in the Older Men's Cohort was studied. Instead of using the wife's perception of her husband's attitudes, it was possible to examine the effects of husbands' attitudes on their wives' work activity and the wives' work activity on their husbands' subsequent attitudes. In general, it appears that the impact of attitudes on work activity has decreased over time, while the impact of work activity on attitudes has increased. Husbands' attitudes toward women working are significantly modified by their wives' work. Also, less traditional husbands tend to work fewer hours.

Mature and Young Women's Volunteer Work, 1974-1981
Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1986.
Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women
Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research
Keyword(s): Employment; Labor Force Participation; Volunteer Work

Data from the NLS of Young and Mature Women (1974-1981) are used to examine the determinants and consequences of volunteer work. Descriptive results show remarkable aggregate-level stability across time in voluntary participation. The cross-sectional relationship between volunteer work and labor force participation was found to be negative. Over the long run, employed women who also do volunteer work experience lower earnings. Increased volunteer work was found to be related to relatively high levels of education, training, work experience, and occupational prestige. Hence, volunteer work substitutes for paid market work in the short run, but enhances accumulated human capital in the long run.

Effects of Promised Monetary Incentives on Attrition in a Long-Term Panel Survey

For over 35 years, a random sample of U.S. women has responded for free to a government survey that tracks their socioeconomic development. In 2003 an experiment was run to understand if providing monetary incentives of up to $40 would impact participation rates. Providing incentives to respondents, who previously refused to participate in the last survey round, significantly boosted response rates, and resulted in longer interviews and more items answered. However, providing monetary incentives to previously willing respondents showed a mixed impact on response rates, interview times, and items answered.
