Twenty Years On The Fifth Indonesia Family Survey of Aging

描述（由申请人提供）：使用来自发达国家的纵向数据的研究已经证明了小组调查对于理解社会科学中一系列基本问题的价值。印度尼西亚老龄化家庭生活调查（IFLS）就是这样一项调查，它为研究低收入环境的研究人员提供了宝贵的资源。到目前为止，我们已经在1993年、1997年、2000年和2007年收集了四轮完整的数据。所有这些都在公共领域，并且在加强我们对低收入环境中与老龄化相关的重要经济、人口和健康行为和结果的理解方面非常有用。我们建议在2013/14年度开展第五轮国际交流。第五轮谈判的附加值是巨大的。IFLS5将把研究的时间框架延长到20年。拟议的数据将极大地促进对老年人一生中、跨代以及包括长期经济增长、经济急剧衰退和复苏在内的一段时间内的人口、健康和社会经济变化的研究。IFLS能够在较长时间内（冲击后15年）评估重大经济衰退的影响，这使得它在小组调查中与众不同。拥有超过20年的面板数据将有助于研究同一个人的衰老过程如何随时间变化。它将使我们能够更彻底地了解印度尼西亚目前正在进行的重大卫生转型；其中，慢性病、营养过剩和相关健康风险因素在壮年成人和老年人中的作用日益重要；与此同时，传染病和营养不良问题仍然相当普遍。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research using longitudinal data from the developed world has demonstrated the value of panel surveys for understanding an array of fundamental questions in social science. The Indonesia Family Life Survey of Aging (IFLS) is one such survey, and it has been valuable resource for researchers interested in low income settings. To date we have collected four full rounds of data, in 1993, 1997, 2000 and 2007. All are in the public domain, and in combination have proved highly useful with regard to enhancing our understanding of important economic, demographic, and health behaviors and outcomes related to aging in a low-income setting. We propose to conduct a fifth full round of IFLS in 2013/14. The value added of a fifth round is substantial. IFLS5 will extend the time frame the study spans to 20 years. The proposed data will greatly facilitate the study of demographic, health and socioeconomic change pertaining to the elderly over the life-course, across generations and over a period of time that includes long-run economic growth, sharp economic downturn and recovery. Being able to assess the impacts of a major economic downturn over a longer period of time (15 years subsequent to the shock) makes IFLS unusual among panel surveys. Having panel data over a 20 year period will allow study of how aging processes work over time for the same individual. It will allow a more thorough understanding of a major health transition that is now underway in Indonesia; in which the roles of chronic diseases, overnutrition and associated health risk factors among prime-aged adults and the elderly have increased in importance; at the same time that problems of infectious disease and undernutrition are still quite prevalent.
