Summary: |
This collection, the second wave of a panel survey,
provides household-level retrospective and current data for Peninsular
Malaysian women and their husbands and covers traditional topics of
demographic research such as fertility, nuptiality, migration, and
mortality as well as social and economic factors affecting family
decision-making. The overall purpose of the data collection was to
study household behavior in diverse settings during a period of rapid
demographic and socioeconomic change. Eight survey instruments were
used in this study. The tracking instrument, MFLS-2, was used for all
households where an interview was attempted, and recorded information
such as disposition of survey and questionnaires, number of eligibles,
and respondent identifiers. The MF20 instrument, Household Members,
was administered to all Panel sample households that were located. It
solicited information on the status of the household members and
included items such as location, marital status, education, and
birthdate. The MF21 form, Household Roster, was used on all households
interviewed in the survey. This form collected demographic information
on current and very recent household members. The MF22 form, Female
Life History, surveyed the Panel women and their selected daughters
and daughters-in-law, and the New Sample women. Information collected
by this form included pregnancy history and related events, marital,
work, and migration histories, family background, and education. The
MF23 form, Male Life History, collected data from husbands of the
Panel women, selected sons and sons-in-law, and husbands of New Sample
women. Data on marital, work, and migration histories, education, and
family background were recorded. The MF24 form, Senior Life History,
was administered to selected persons aged 50 or more and contained
questions on marriages, children living elsewhere, literacy, work
experience, migration history, health, and family background. The MF25
form, Household Economy, collected data on household economy from all
households interviewed in this wave. Forms MF26 and MF27 were used to
generate community-level data subfiles for this collection. Part 97
(MF26DIST--District-Level Data) contains one record for each of the 78
districts of Peninsular Malaysia. This file provides information (most
of which pertains to 1988, but some of which dates back to 1970) on
health services (e.g., number of hospitals, health centers, and
doctors), family planning services (e.g., number of family planning
clinics, contraceptive use), birth, death, and fertility rates, number
of primary and secondary schools, ethnic distributions, and industrial
and occupational distributions. Part 98 (MF26EB--Community-Level Data)
contains one record for each of the 398 Enumeration Blocks selected
for MFLS-2 and the 52 Primary Sampling Units used in MFLS-1. This file
gives the current status of family planning services, general health
services, schools, water and sanitation, housing costs, agriculture,
transportation, population, urban/rural status, and government
programs. Part 99 (MF27COMM--Community-Level Data) offers data for the
same units as Part 98 and contains similar information, along with
retrospective data on family planning services, health services,
schools, and water treatment. Merged files (Parts 106-112) that
contain one record per respondent were created by ICPSR using the
variables CASE SPLIT PERSON for MF22, MF23, MF24, and MF25 on the New
and Senior samples and the Panel and Children samples.

Sample: |
Four samples were drawn for this study: Panel, Children,
New, and Senior. (1) Those eligible for the Panel Sample were 1,262
women who were the primary respondents in the First Malaysian Family
Life Survey in 1976. At that time, all had been married and were aged
50 or younger. In the second wave, 889 of these Panel respondents
completed the Female Life History Questionnaire, a follow-up rate of
72 percent of those eligible. The husbands of these respondents were
also interviewed if living in the household. (2) The Children Sample
consisted of children of the women eligible for the study aged 18 or
older. There were interviews with one child, selected at random,
living elsewhere in Peninsular Malaysia. (3) The New Sample consisted
of women aged 18-49 (regardless of marital status) or ever-married
women under age 18. (4) The Senior Sample consisted of 1,357 persons
aged 50 or older.

Version History: |
2005-11-04 On 2005-03-14 new files were added to one
or more datasets. These files included additional setup files as well
as one or more of the following: SAS program, SAS transport, SPSS portable,
and Stata system files. The metadata record was revised 2005-11-04 to
reflect these additions. 1999-11-02 Merged files (Parts 106-112) that contain one
record per respondent were created by ICPSR using the variables CASE
SPLIT PERSON for MF22, MF23, MF24, and MF25 on the New and Senior
samples (Parts 106-109) and the Panel and Children samples. 1999-04-12 Part 56 (Panel and Children: MFLS-2 Tracking
Record), Part 53 (New and Senior: MF25INC--Household Economy:
Income-Producing Activities), and Part 94 (Panel and Children:
MF25INC--Household Economy: Income-Producing Activities) and their
corresponding SAS and SPSS data definition statements have been
replaced due to additional cleaning of the data by the principal
investigator.
