Migration Data: Prospects for Research Based on the Youth Cohort of the NLS Review of Public Data Use 12,3 (October 1984): 211-219 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Commerce Keyword(s): Migration; NLS Description; Research Methodology Very few data sets with information appropriate for migration research exist, and the prospect for specially designed surveys focusing on migration is remote. In the absence of appropriate data, migration researchers will have to continue to apply rigor in secondary types of analyses. This paper assesses the adequacy of panel data from the NLSY for migration research. Key information relevant to eight of the nine criteria developed by Bilborrow and Akin (1982) for evaluating survey data is contained in this data set, including extensive migration- defining information, personal and household variables, and environment variables. |
