Subject content: SIPP is a multi-panel longitudinal survey of adults (population age 15 and over), measuring their economic and demographic characteristics over a period of 2 1/2 years. The adults followed in each panel of the survey are determined by a nationally representative survey of households in the civilian noninstitutionalized population. The first panel began in October 1983 with the adults in 19,987 interviewed households. Households typically undergo nine interviews (called "waves").
Information collected in SIPP falls into two categories: Core data includes questions asked at every interview. Topical modules include in-depth information on specific subjects and are asked less frequently.
Unless otherwise noted, each CD-ROM contains all available core data files, topical modules, and longitudinal files for the survey year. For more information on the SIPP Survey.
File format: Compressed ASCII with no retrieval software.
Note: Files can be unzipped using standard
unzipping software.
