Abstract:
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 1979. These respondents were ages 14 to 22 when the first round of interviews began in 1979; they will be ages 59 to 66 when the planned round thirty-one of interview is conducted in 2024. One of the goals of DOL 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, and school-to-work transitions.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The increase is due to an increase in the estimated time for the questionnaire to 73 minutes from 69 minutes in Round 30. This increase is primarily due to the reintroduction of the cognition battery last administered in Round 29 and the rotating in of the section on pensions, disability, support, and various types of expected income, which has been included every four years since 2000; in addition, NLS has included several questions designed to measure details about the location of work. Some of the time added for these additions is offset by the deletion of questions on job tasks, retirement expectations, nutrition, and the coronavirus, as well as the targeting of questions on religion, perceived discrimination, fertility, and will be administered to only those respondents who missed the last survey.
