| | | | Summary: | This dataset contains basic demographic, social, and
economic data for each member of interviewed households in the first
eight waves of the 1985 Panel of Survey of Income and Program
Participation (SIPP). Variables include age, sex, race, ethnic origin,
marital status, household relationship, education, and veteran status.
Limited data are provided on housing unit characteristics such as
number of units in structure and tenure. Core questions, repeated at
each interview, include monthly labor force activity, types and amounts
of monthly income, and participation in various cash and noncash
benefits programs for each month of the survey period. Data for
employed persons include number of hours and weeks worked, earnings,
and weeks without a job. Nonworkers are classified as unemployed or not
in the labor force. In addition to income data associated with labor
force activity, nearly 50 other types of income data are provided.
Several variables are included for use in identifying longitudinal
households and persons in them and to aid in analysis. |

| | | Data Collection Notes: | The period covered by the 1985 longitudinal panel file
consists of 32 interview months (eight interviews) for Rotations 2, 3,
and 4 of the survey. Rotation 1 has only 28 interview months (seven
interviews). Specific months available depend on the person's rotation
group and his or her sample entry or exit date. However, data from all
four rotation groups (i.e., the full sample) are available only for
reference months January 1985 through April 1987, inclusive. Also, the
availability of data on household composition begins with the first
interview month of a rotation group. |
|---|
| | | | Sample: | The survey used a multistage stratified sampling design.
Approximately 17,800 living quarters were selected for the sample. Of
these, approximately 13,400 were occupied and eligible for interview.
Each household was assigned to one of four rotation groups, and each
rotation group was interviewed every four months. Thus one-fourth of
the households were interviewed each month, and households were
re-interviewed at four months intervals. |
