SES-1155572Steven RugglesUniversity of Minnesota Population CenterInfrastructure for Population AnalysisAbstractThis project will create a large-scale database that will make possible analyses of long-term economic and social change. The database will cover the entire US population with full geographic detail, providing contextual information on childhood neighborhood characteristics and labor-market conditions. The project is funded collaboratively by the Minnesota Population Center with the nation?s largest producer of genealogical data, and it receives funding from the Census Bureau, the National Archives and Records Administration, in addition to the NSF. This collaboration allows a highly cost-effective use of scarce resources for shared infrastructure for social and behavioral research. The component funded by the National Science Foundation involves digitizing the supplemental 1940 Census questions, including the parental birthplaces, veteran status, Social Security enrollment, occupation, marital status, number of children born, and other information collected for the first time.The project involves (1) transcription of data describing the demographic and economic characteristics of individuals, families, households, and group quarters present in the United States; and (2) evaluation of data quality through random blind verification and comparison with published census returns. The outcome of the project will be a raw data file providing a transcription of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the 1940 population of the United States. Researchers will be able to link Census data to e.g., panel surveys, administrative records, and the national death index, allowing study of the impact of early life conditions on later outcomes. The database will also enable innovative multi-level spatial analysis impossible to conduct until now. Broader ImpactsThis Census database seeks to enhance scientific and public understanding of critical policy-related issues, such as population aging, migration, economic mobility, and the impact of government policy on economic development and well-being. The new database will make a permanent and substantial addition to the country's statistical infrastructure, serving as a foundational reference collection with potentially far-reaching implications for research across the social and behavioral sciences. The project will also offer substantial research training to undergraduate and graduate students.

这个项目将建立一个大规模的数据库，使长期的经济和社会变化的分析成为可能。该数据库将覆盖整个美国人口的全部地理细节，提供有关童年邻里特征和劳动力市场状况的背景信息。 该项目是由明尼苏达州人口中心与国家合作资助的？它是美国最大的家谱数据生产者，除了NSF之外，它还得到了人口普查局、国家档案和记录管理局的资助。这种合作可以高度经济有效地利用稀缺资源，为社会和行为研究提供共享基础设施。 由美国国家科学基金会资助的部分涉及将1940年人口普查补充问题数字化，包括父母出生地，退伍军人身份，社会保障登记，职业，婚姻状况，出生子女数量以及首次收集的其他信息。该项目涉及（1）描述个人，家庭，住户的人口和经济特征的数据转录，和集团季度目前在美国;和（2）通过随机盲验证和与公布的人口普查回报比较的数据质量的评价。该项目的成果将是一个原始数据文件，提供美国1940年人口的人口和社会经济特征的转录。 研究人员将能够将人口普查数据与例如，小组调查，行政记录和国家死亡指数，允许研究早期生活条件对后期结果的影响。该数据库还将实现迄今为止无法进行的创新性多层次空间分析。更广泛的影响人口普查数据库旨在提高科学和公众对关键政策相关问题的理解，如人口老龄化，移民，经济流动性以及政府政策对经济发展和福祉的影响。新的数据库将为该国的统计基础设施提供永久性和实质性的补充，作为一个基本的参考资料收集，对整个社会和行为科学的研究可能产生深远的影响。该项目还将为本科生和研究生提供大量的研究培训。
