Panel Study (WLS); Work History Unemployment and job search among youth are conceptualized as behavioral components of the transition into adulthood.

Retrospective Longitudinal Research: Methodological Considerations Journal of Economics and Business 32,2 (Winter 1980): 152-169 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Temple University Press Keyword(s): Demography; Income Dynamics/Shocks; Project Talent; Research Methodology Longitudinal research designs for the study of human development and social change customarily are equated with prospective panel follow-ups. These prospective studies are often costly, inefficient, and impractical, as illustrated by the history of several such investigations. By distinguishing between longitudinal data and longitudinal research design, this paper considers a variety of issues that can be investigated by students of human development and social change without investing in a longitudinal research design. One instance, based on the use of retrospective reports, is examined together with considerations of accurate measurement. |
