Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: South America, Argentina, Buenos Aires, Global, Latin America
This study surveyed two separate samples of Buenos Aires
residents in 1960. Respondents in Sample A (Part 1), drawn from
household members, were asked to provide details about their
employment and information about their foreign background and arrival
in Argentina if they were immigrants. The respondents' native
language, their familiarity with it, and their feelings toward their
native country were also assessed. Family heads, included in Sample B
(Part 2), along with the questions asked of Sample A respondents, also
answered questions about their leisure activities, their outlook on
life, and attitudes toward people. Several variables traced the
respondents' occupational patterns beginning at age 21 and continuing
through the time of the interview. The respondents' fathers' and
grandfathers' occupations were also ascertained. Derived measures
evaluate the respondents' own occupational mobility as well as
occupational change from one generation of their family to the
next. Demographic information covers the respondents' age, gender,
marital status, level of education, and income.
