DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the first component of a three-part project to create a massive microdata resource comprising the entire population of the United States in 1940. The database will provide the earliest information available on educational attainment, migration status, labor force status, and wage and salary income, hours worked per week, and weeks worked last year. Accordingly, it will provide the baseline for critical analyses of social and economic change. Researchers will be able to link recent health surveys, administrative records, and the national death index to the 1940 database, allowing study of the impact of early life conditions-including socioeconomic status, parental education, and family structure-on later health and mortality. The database will cover the entire population with full geographic detail, providing contextual information on childhood neighborhood characteristics, labor-market conditions, and environmental conditions. The new database will make a permanent and substantial addition to the nation's statistical infrastructure, and will have far-reaching implications for research across the social and behavioral sciences. The project involves (1) transcription of 7.8 billion keystrokes of data describing the demographic and economic characteristics of all individuals, families, households, and group quarters present in the United States in 1940; (2) evaluation of data quality through random blind verification and comparison with published census returns; (3) development of data dictionaries to convert approximately 2.6 million different open-ended census responses into numeric classifications compatible with previous and subsequent census data; (4) data cleaning, including editing and imputation of inconsistent and missing data values; (5) development of documentation, including full descriptions of data processing methods, detailed analysis of comparability issues, and comprehensive machine-processable metadata; (6) incorporation of the database into the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) data access system for free dissemination to the scientific community; and (7) implementation of secure data protection and preservation policies. The proposed work will be carried out by a team of highly-skilled researchers with unparalleled expertise and experience in large-scale data creation, integration, and dissemination. The project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center with the nation's largest producers of genealogical data and the National Archives and Records Administration. This collaboration allows a highly cost-effective use of scarce resources for shared infrastructure for population and health research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个由三部分组成的项目的第一部分，该项目旨在创建一个包含1940年美国全部人口的大规模微数据资源。该数据库将提供有关受教育程度、移民状况、劳动力状况、工资和薪金收入、每周工作时间和去年工作时间的最早信息。因此，它将为社会和经济变化的批判性分析提供基线。研究人员将能够将最近的健康调查、行政记录和国家死亡指数与1940年的数据库联系起来，从而研究早期生活条件（包括社会经济地位、父母教育和家庭结构）对后来的健康和死亡率的影响。该数据库将以完整的地理细节覆盖整个人口，提供有关儿童社区特征、劳动力市场条件和环境条件的背景信息。新的数据库将对国家的统计基础设施作出永久和实质性的补充，并将对整个社会和行为科学的研究产生深远的影响。该项目涉及(1)转录78亿次数据击键，这些数据描述了1940年美国所有个人、家庭、家庭和群体的人口和经济特征；(2)通过随机盲验证和与已公布的人口普查结果的比较来评估数据质量；(3)开发数据字典，将大约260万个不同的开放式人口普查回答转换为与以前和以后的人口普查数据兼容的数字分类；(4)数据清洗，包括对不一致和缺失的数据值进行编辑和代入；(5)开发文档，包括对数据处理方法的完整描述，对可比性问题的详细分析，以及全面的机器可处理元数据；(6)将该数据库纳入综合公共使用微数据系列（IPUMS）数据访问系统，以便向科学界免费传播；(7)实施安全的数据保护和保存策略。拟议的工作将由一组高技能的研究人员进行，他们在大规模数据创建、集成和传播方面具有无与伦比的专业知识和经验。该项目是明尼苏达人口中心与美国最大的家谱数据生产商以及国家档案和记录管理局的合作项目。这种合作可以以极具成本效益的方式利用稀缺资源，共享人口和卫生研究基础设施。
