Education Data in the NLSY79: A Premiere Research Tool Monthly Labor Review 128, 2 (February 2005): 15-20. Also: http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2005/02/art3exc.htm Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Education; Longitudinal Surveys; NLS Description Social science researchers widely use the NLSY79 schooling data because of its longitudinal nature and range of content. Perhaps the most widely used data in social science research are those related to measures of education; among such measures, years of schooling is the most ubiquitous. A search of the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) Annotated Bibliography yields 1,803 articles, book chapters, dissertations, and so forth, in which either the word "education" or "schooling" appears in the title, abstract, or as a keyword. Of those, more than 1,000 were based on the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 (NLSY79) data. Researchers' use of education measures found in the NLSY79 spans several social science disciplines, particularly economics and sociology, and, to a lesser extent, psychology. A large number of articles using NLSY79 education measures have appeared in major general audience and specialty journals. (See table 1.) In economics, there were 8 such journals, totaling 78 published articles, and in sociology, 6 journals with 47 articles. In psychology, one journal specializing in child development published five articles, and one medical science journal also published five. |
