Summary

This data collection contains basic demographic, social, and economic data for each member of interviewed households in the first six waves of the 1988 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, cover 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.

Sample

The survey used a multistage stratified sampling design. Roughly 33,700 persons were initially designated in the sample. For Wave 1 of the 1988 Panel, interviews were obtained from approximately 31,000 occupants of about 11,700 of the designated living quarters. For later interviews, only original sample persons from Wave 1 and persons living with them were eligible to be interviewed. Sample households within the panel were divided into four subsamples of nearly equal size, called rotation groups, and each rotation group was reinterviewed at four-month intervals.

Universe

The resident population of the United States 15 years of age or older at the time of the interview, excluding persons living in institutions or military barracks.
