Erratum: An error has been identified in the 1982 National Study of Family Growth. The variable F9, mother's main occupation when respondent was of ages 5 to 15, should contain a three-digit Census occupation code for the respondent's mother, but an error in processing truncated the variable to two digits. The dataset will be re-released in the near future with corrected data.
