This survey collected information on participants and nonparticipants in adult and continuing education activities throughout the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Conducted by the Bureau of the Census as part of the May 1969 and May 1972 Current Population Surveys (ICPSR 7935 and 7996), the adult education survey collected information on the respondent's age, race, sex, regular years of school completed, family income, work experience, occupation, veteran status, marital status, relationship to head of household, number of children in household, and geographic and urban/rural nature of area of residence. The socioeconomic and demographic information can be linked to data on adult education activities in PARTICIPATION IN ADULT EDUCATION, 1969: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 2287) and PARTICIPATION IN ADULT EDUCATION, 1972: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 2289).
