Data from the 1987 round of the National Survey of Children indicate that seven percent of Americans aged 18-22 have experienced at least one episode of nonvoluntary sexual intercourse. Women were more likely than men to report having had such an experience, with just under half of all nonvoluntary experiences among women occurring before the age of 14. Multiple classification analysis reveals that white women who had lived apart from their parents before age 16, those who had been brought up in poverty, those who had a physical, emotional or mental limitation when they were young, those whose parents had been heavy drinkers, those whose parents had used illegal drugs and those whose parents had smoked cigarettes when they themselves were teenagers were at significantly greater risk for experiencing sexual abuse. Six percent of young white women with no risk factors, nine percent of those with one, 26 percent of those with two, and 68 percent of those with three or more had been sexually abused before or during adolescence. The analyses are based on data from the third wave of the National Survey of Children (NSC) conducted in 1987, Cycle III of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) carried out in 1982, and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Force Behavior of Youth (NLSY) for the years 1983-1985.

An Agenda For Socioeconomic Life Cycle Research
Journal of Economics and Business 32,2 (Winter 1980): 95-110
Cohort(s): NLS General
Publisher: Temple University Press
Keyword(s): Life Cycle Research; Longitudinal Surveys; NLS Description; Research Methodology; Socioeconomic Status (SES)

In October l977, the Social Science Research Council convened a conference on the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience to review research based on NLS data and to suggest promising future directions this study might take. A research agenda that emerged from this meeting is presented, and while not exhaustive, the agenda does identify a number of new or continuing research areas that are important for developing a better understanding of the socioeconomic life cycle. The agenda is organized into four broad topics: work-family relationships, labor force socialization, structural variables, and methodological issues.

Work and Socioeconomic Life Cycles: An Agenda for Longitudinal Research
Monthly Labor Review 102,2 (February 1979): 23-27
Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women
Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor
Keyword(s): Life Cycle Research; Longitudinal Surveys; Research Methodology; Socioeconomic Status (SES)

Some of the major themes concerning longitudinal surveys are summarized in the form of a brief agenda for socioeconomic life cycle research. The author goes on to suggest that several ancillary surveys, designed to complement the NLS by testing new content before it is incorporated into the main set of instruments and to check the validity and reliability of existing measures should be instituted. Thus, a foundation would be laid to judge which measures work well and which should be discontinued in favor of those showing more promise.
