Representation and Development in Brazil, 1972-1973 (ICPSR 7712)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: South America, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Global, Latin America
Time period: 1972-01-01--1973-01-01
Conducted in 1973-1974 in Brazil, this survey was designed to measure two sets of respondents' preferences regarding salient policy issues, their evaluations of political life and government performance, and their conceptions of relationships between themselves and their representatives in labor unions and in the political arena at large. Interview schedules for each group of respondents are nearly identical, but the sampling frames are very different. Therefore, the data from the separate samples are supplied as Part 1 (Mass Sample) and Part 2 (Union Sample) in two separate files. Variables include respondents' preferences as to which course of action the government should take in each of a series of policy domains, ranging from birth control and income redistribution to the limits on political opposition and governmental controls over organized labor. There are variables indicating respondents' opinions elicited on several current issues of controversy, including the political role of the military, censorship, and the system of indirect elections. The survey also contains data on the respondents' degree of organizational involvement of unionized workers, including variables pertaining to their participation in sindicatos (unions), their evaluation of the performance of the sindicato leadership, and indications of how the represented might hold the leadership to account for their actions. Additional variables deal with membership evaluation of sindicato functions and influence, respondents' party identification, past electoral choices, and evaluations of post-1964 government policies. Other variables include respondents' interest in politics and in the operation of government, as well as their perceptions of the effect of government on their lives. Variables provided by the interviewers include perceptions of the respondents' interest in the interview, the sincerity with which questions were answered, and the presence and behavior of other persons at the interview. A full range of background information is also contained in the data collection, including variables on respondents' age, sex, race, religion, educational level, occupation, income, marital status, birthplace, father's education and occupation, migration, and media use.

Stratification and Mobility in a Latin American City: Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1960 (ICPSR 7036)
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.
