Scope of Study
Summary: The main objectives of this data collection effort were to assemble a set of cross-nationally comparable microdata samples for Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) countries based on the 1990 national population and housing censuses in countries of Europe and North America, and to use these samples to study the social and economic conditions of older persons. The samples are designed to allow research on a wide range of issues related to aging, as well as on other social phenomena. Included in the Czech Republic dataset are questions on the type and characteristics of buildings/dwellings, available utility systems, and demographic information such as age, sex, marital status, number of children, education, income, religion, and occupation. Also included are questions concerning the presence of household amenities such as telephones, toilets, automobiles, baths/showers, washers, and television sets.
Subject Terms: aging, demographic characteristics, housing, living conditions, older adults

Data Collection Notes:
In addition to the SAS data file provided by the principal investigator, ICPSR is distributing an ASCII data file extracted from the SAS file. Analysis of the ASCII file may be facilitated by dividing it.
Erroneously coded missing values on age have been corrected, resulting in 1,650 households being dropped from the sample. The principal investigator has provided a corrected version of the data, in one file instead of four, a revised codebook, descriptive statistics, and SAS and SPSS data definition statements.
Methodology
Sample: Individual-based sample of 1,029,471 persons with progressive oversampling with age, while retaining information on all persons co-residing in the sampled person's dwelling unit (N = 1,574,936).
