Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
Summary:
This data collection contains basic demographic, social, and economic data for each member of interviewed households in the first seven waves of the 1986 Panel of 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:
Rotation group 1 was not interviewed for Wave 3 of the 1986 Panel.
Methodology
Sample: The survey used a multistage stratified sampling design. Approximately 16,300 living quarters were selected for the sample. For Wave 1 of the 1986 Panel, interviews were obtained from the occupants of about 11,500 of the designated living quarters. 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 reinterviewed at four-month intervals.
