SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth 1979 (NLSY79) is a
representative national sample of
persons who were born in the years
1957 to 1964 and lived in the U.S. in
1978. These respondents were ages 14–
22 when the first round of interviews
began in 1979; they will be ages 41 to
48 when the planned twenty-second
round of interviews is conducted from
January to December 2006. The NLSY79
was conducted annually from 1979 to
1994 and has been conducted biennially
since 1994. The longitudinal focus of
this survey requires information to be
collected from the same individuals
over many years in order to trace their
education, training, work experience,
fertility, income, and program
participation.
In addition to the main NLSY79, the
biological children of female NLSY79
respondents have been surveyed since
1986, when the National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development
began providing funding to the BLS to
gather a large amount of information
about the lives of these children. A

emotional, and physiological

Note: The number of respondents for the Mother Supplement (1,730) is less than the number of responses (2,200) because mothers are
asked to provide separate responses for each of the biological children with whom they reside. Since the Mother Supplement is given to children
ages 0–14, the number of responses is greater than the Children’s Supplement, which is only given to children ages 4–14 years.
