U.S. Current Population Survey: Selected Variables-Females, 1977

Investigators: U.S. Census Bureau

The Current Population Survey (CPS), which is conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census, provides estimates of employment, unemployment, and other demographic statistics. The June 1977 CPS contained supplementary questions, asked of women only. These questions obtained information about their marital and fertility histories, including total number of liveborn children, birth dates of youngest and oldest children, and details of child-care arrangements for those who worked. The study contains information for 61,847 women from the 50 states and the District of Columbia, from households selected to be representative of the U.S. as a whole. The microcomputer version of the raw data is an extract of 1,013 cases.Note for users of DAAPPP Data Sets #01-B1DAAPPP data sets 01 through B1 are comprised of a User's Guide, SPSS syntax files (*.SPS or *.SPX) and raw data files only.

U.S. Current Population Survey: Selected Variables-Females, 1980

Investigators: U.S. Census Bureau

The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly household sample survey of individuals living in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Conducted by the Bureau of the Census, this survey is intended to provide a basis for estimates of employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the general labor force, of the U.S. population as a whole, and of various subgroups of the population. In this survey data on demographic characteristics and employment experiences, for the week preceding the survey, are obtained for household members aged 14 or over. Data are obtained through interviews with a single responsible member of the household. Beginning in 1971, at the request of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, a special supplementary survey was conducted in selected years, in conjunction with the June CPS, to obtain data on individuals' marital and fertility histories and on their birth expectations. Data were also obtained on children residing in the household. The file described here (DAAPPP Data Set No. 11) contains data from the June 1980 CPS and fertility supplement. Specifically, it contains data for 71,407 women aged 14 and older that were included in that survey. (Data on the men and children included in that survey are contained in DAAPPP Data Sets No. 12 and No. 13, respectively. These data sets may be used to supplement the information available in the women's records, if desired. However, as noted below, information on selected characteristics of the spouses as well as number, sex, and birthdates of children is already available on the women's file.)

U.S. Current Population Survey: Selected Variables-Females, 1982

Investigators: U.S. Census Bureau

The June 1982 supplementary survey on marital and fertility history and child-care practices conducted in conjunction with the Current Population Survey (CPS) collected information from a sample of 64,842 women, representative of the U.S. as a whole, from the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The CPS, which is conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census, provides estimates of employment, unemployment, and other demographic statistics. In the supplement, women 18-59 who had ever been married were asked questions concerning the total number of their liveborn children, the birth dates of the oldest and youngest children, and the date of their first marriage. Women 18-34 were also asked about birth expectations for the future. Information about arrangements for child-care for children under the age of 5 was obtained from women who were currently employed, and education and employment information for current spouses was also obtained. The microcomputer version of the raw data is an extract of 1,013 cases.

U.S. Family Planning Clinic Parental Notification Policies, 1979-1980

Investigators: Aida Torres

The survey provides information on patterns of parental consent and notification policies for teenagers followed by family planning clinics in 1979-1980. During October 1979 to March 1980, a questionnaire was mailed to 2,540 family planning agencies that administer about 5,000 clinics across the country, yielding a total of 1,796 cases, weighted by type of agency and by caseload. Data include information on age at which services are provided without parental consent or notification, procedures followed to obtain parental consent or to notify parents, and circumstances under which teenagers might be served without consent or notification.

U.S. National Fertility Study, 1965

Investigators: Norman Ryder and Charles Westoff

This study was designed to continue the collection of data which had begun with the 1955 and 1960 Growth of American Family (GAF) Surveys (DAAPPP Data Set Nos. 41, 42, and 43). The population sampled included currently married English- speaking women born after July 1, 1910 who were living with their husbands in the coterminous U.S. Of a national probability sample of 6,397 women eligible for the study, 5,617 were interviewed (88%). The primary differences from the previous GAF samples were an increased number of respondents (3,322 in 1960), greater age scope (55 in the current survey, 44 in previous data sets), and the inclusion of a greater number of non-white women. As in the two earlier surveys, data were collected on topics such as births and miscarriages, sterility, contraception, and the desired and expected number of children. This dataset is an extract of 1,123 cases.

U.S. National Fertility Study, 1970

Investigators: Norman Ryder and Charles Westoff

This study is the second wave of a three-part fertility study which began with the 1965 National Fertility Study (NFS) (documented as DAAPPP Data Set No. 48-49), and ended with the 1975 NFS (documented as DAAPPP Data Set No. 52). A national probability sample of ever-married women under 45 years of age was interviewed for this study. The data cover contraceptive efficacy, fecundability, attitudes toward abortion, sex roles, and world population issues. Also available are detailed background data on respondents and their spouses (age, education, religion and religiosity, ethnicity, occupation, family income, financial conditions). The microcomputer version of the raw data is an extract of 1,125 cases.
