Summary:

The National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women is one of six surveys, designed by the United States Department of Labor, comprising the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) Series. The original purpose of the survey was to study employment patterns of women in their teens and early 20s who were completing school, making initial career and job decisions, and starting families. The survey was first administered to 5,159 respondents by interviewers from the United States Census Bureau in 1968. The survey has been repeated a further 21 times, approximately every other year, between the years of 1968 and 2003. Unlike the two NLS male cohorts, which were abandoned by the early 1990s, the NLS of Young Women is an ongoing study. The survey queried respondents on 17 main subjects: work and nonwork experiences, work-related discrimination, training investments, schooling information, retirement status and plans, volunteer work and leisure-time activities, physical well-being, health care and health insurance, alcohol and cigarette use, attitudes, aspirations, and psychological well-being, geographic and environmental data, demographics and family background, marital and fertility histories, childcare arrangements, care of ill and disabled persons, household chores, and transfers. Respondents were asked to give detailed information about their occupation, class of worker, rate of pay, hours worked per week, job satisfaction, and benefits. Respondents who reported themselves as unemployed were asked questions regarding their job search including methods used to look for work, number of weeks spent looking for work, reasons for not looking for work, and number of weeks they spent out of the labor force. Respondents were also asked about work-related discrimination, specifically, whether the respondents had experienced discrimination based on age, race, religion, or sex at any time....
