SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 to 22 when the first round of interviews began
in 1979; they were ages 57 to 64 as of December 31, 2021. 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. A battery of child
cognitive, socio-emotional, and physiological assessments was
administered biennially from 1986 until 2012 to NLSY79 mothers and
their children. Starting in 1994, children who had reached age 15 by
December 31 of the survey year (the Young Adults) were interviewed
about their work experiences, training, schooling, health, fertility,
self-esteem, and other topics. Funding for the NLSY79 Child and Young
Adult surveys has been provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development through an interagency
agreement with the BLS and through a grant awarded to researchers at
the Ohio State University Center for Human Resource Research. The
collection referenced in this notice does not include a collection of
the NLSY79 Child and Young Adult surveys, but additional collections
may be contemplated in the future.
One of the goals of the Department of Labor is to produce and
disseminate timely, accurate, and relevant information about the U.S.
labor force. The BLS contributes to this goal by gathering information
about the labor force and labor market and disseminating it to
policymakers and the public so that participants in those markets can
make more informed, and thus more efficient, choices. Research based on
the NLSY79 contributes to the formation of national policy in the areas
of education, training, employment programs, school-to-work
transitions, and preparations for retirement. In addition to the
reports that the BLS produces based on data from the NLSY79, members of
the academic community publish articles and reports based on NLSY79
data for the DOL and other funding agencies. To date, more than 2,750
articles examining NLSY79 data have been published in scholarly
journals. The survey design provides data gathered from the same
respondents over time to form the only data set that contains this type
of information for this important
[[Page 34307]]
population group. Without the collection of these data, an accurate
longitudinal data set could not be provided to researchers and
policymakers, thus adversely affecting the DOL's ability to perform its
policy- and report-making activities. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on March 1, 2022 (87 FR 11484).
