Evaluation of the 1989 Child-Care Supplement in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Report NLS 92-6, Washington DC: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, October 1989. Also: http://stats.bls.gov/ore/abstract/nl/nl890020.htm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Child Care; Contraception; Data Quality/Consistency; Mothers; Research Methodology This report assesses a variety of data quality issues in the special 1989 NLSY child care supplement. Funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, the 1989 round of the NLSY included a special data collection designed to obtain maternal reports of current and usual child care arrangements and to assess the following three data quality issues: (1) the extent to which information collected on primary and secondary child care arrangements accurately reflects all child care use; (2) the extent to which mothers were able to reconstruct a retrospective of every child care arrangement used for at least 10 hours per week since the date of last interview; and (3) the validity and usefulness of a set of questions dealing with the mother's attitudes towards child care and the flexibility of available child care arrangements in meeting unusual or emergency situations. Data were collected from 347 mothers who were interviewed during the first month of the survey round. The report summarizes results of the special survey and presents recommendations for future child care data collections. |
