Summary View help for Summary
This data collection is a modified version of the original SURVEY OF INCOME AND EDUCATION, 1976 (ICPSR 7634). While the original files were hierarchically structured, this file is rectangular in structure. All of the household and person records were included in the rectangular file, but none of the family records. The household variables were placed at the beginning of each corresponding person record. The survey was conducted during the months of April through July of 1976 by the Census Bureau for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. It served as a supplement to the yearly Current Population Survey and was conducted to obtain reliable state-by-state data on the numbers of children in local areas with family incomes below the federal poverty level. The information was used by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare to facilitate Title 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The survey includes questions used in the Current Population Survey and also contains additional exclusive questions covering school enrollment, disability, health insurance, bilingualism, food stamp recipiency, assets, and housing costs. This collection was provided by the National Chicano Research Network, which was located at the Survey Research Center of the Institute of Social Research, University of Michigan.
