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就是这样一项调查，它是对低收入环境感兴趣的研究人员的宝贵资源。到目前为止，我们已经收集了1993年、1997年、2000年和2007年的四轮完整数据。所有这些都是公共领域的，并且结合起来证明对于提高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非常有用。 我们建议在2013/14年度进行第五轮全面的综合借贷计划。第五轮谈判的附加值很大。IFLS 5将把研究的时间范围延长到20年。拟议的数据将大大有助于研究老年人在整个生命过程中、在几代人之间以及在包括长期经济增长、经济急剧下滑和复苏在内的一段时间内的人口、健康和社会经济变化。由于能够评估重大经济衰退在较长时期内（冲击后15年）的影响，IFLS在小组调查中显得不同寻常。拥有超过20年的面板数据将允许研究衰老过程如何随着时间的推移对同一个人起作用。它将使人们能够更透彻地了解印度尼西亚目前正在进行的重大健康转变;在这一转变中，慢性病、营养过剩和相关健康风险因素在壮年成年人和老年人中的作用越来越重要;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.
