age group
For this first release of NLSCY data, for the final output file, complete child records with data for every section of each of the questionnaires were created. If a section is not applicable for a child all of the variables for the section have been set to not-applicable. In subsequent releases however, a series of database files will be released for each section. A record will exist for the section only if the section was applicable. The appropriate software will be provided so that users can easily link variables across files. This will be a far more efficient way to store and manipulate the NLSCY data.


final weight
Do not include: "don't know", "refusal" and "not-stated" codes in this tabulation (i.e., records for which the number of days of special care is code  997, 998 or 999). For cases where the number of days is not-applicable (i.e., 996) because no care was received recode the number of days to 0 to perform the calculation.


parent
In this analysis the parent referred to the female parent except for families where there was a lone parent and that parent was male.


53
The reason there are 53 positions in the employment vectors is because employment data were collected over the previous 12 months; which could involve 53 calendar weeks.


AEDSD04
It was decided that years of schooling was an interesting derived variable itself and therefore this variable has been included on the NLSCY master  file for the PMK and spouse/partner (AEDPD04 and AEDSD04). It is not included on the microdata file because of confidentiality concerns. Users can gain access to this variable by way of requests for custom tabulations or by remote access, as discussed in Chapter 13.

GUIDE01
1.0 Introduction

The National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) is a long-term survey

designed to measure child development and well-being. The

first cycle of the survey was conducted by Statistics Canada in 1994 -1995

on behalf of Human Resources Development Canada. This manual has

been produced to facilitate the manipulation of the microdata file and to

document data quality and other analytical issues regarding the NLSCY.

It should be pointed out that not all the data collected in the first cycle of the

NLSCY are included in this first microdata file. The amount of information

collected was so extensive a decision was made to have two releases rather

than waiting for all of the data to be processed. The second release will be

in 1997. The notable sections to be included in this second release are

health variables for the child and the parents, the custody history of the

child, and data collected from the teacher and the principal. A complete list

of the sections included in the first and second release can be found in

Appendix 1.

Any questions about the data set or its use should be directed to:

2.0 Background

Before the NLSCY was undertaken there were few statistical studies

describing a broad range of characteristics of children in Canada.

Measures of health, well-being and life opportunities are needed, however, if

governments and researchers hope to learn more about the ongoing life

conditions of Canadian children and youth, and their developmental

experiences.  Longitudinal data are central to discovering developmental

changes occurring in children over time, and studying the impacts of the

social environment of the child and various family-related factors.

Data on the prevalence of, and interaction among, various characteristics

and conditions will assist policy makers in understanding the processes that

modify risk and protect and encourage the healthy development of children.

Such information will enhance the capacity of the various partners in society

to develop effective strategies, policies and programs to help children

succeed in our changing society.

3.0 Objectives

The primary objective of the NLSCY is to develop a national database on

the characteristics and life experiences of children and youth in Canada as

they grow from infancy to adulthood.  The more specific objectives of the

NLSCY are:

   to determine the prevalence of various biological, social and economic

   characteristics and risk factors of children and youth in Canada;

   to monitor the impact of such risk factors, life events and protective

   factors on the development of these children; and

   to provide this information to policy and program officials for use in

   developing effective policies and strategies to help young people live

   healthy, active and rewarding lives.

Underlying these objectives is the need to:

   fill an existing information gap regarding the characteristics and

   experiences of children in Canada, particularly in their early years;

   focus on all aspects of the child in a holistic manner (i.e., the child,

   his/her family, school, and community);

   provide national, and as far as possible, provincial-level data; and

  explore subject areas that are amenable to policy intervention and

  which affect a significant segment of the population.

4.0 Survey Methodology

The requirement for the NLSCY design was to select a representative

sample of children in Canada and to follow and monitor these children over

time into adulthood.

4.1  Definition of the NLSCY Population

The target population of the NLSCY for Cycle 1 consisted of Canadian

children aged newborn to 11 years of age. There were some exclusions

made for operational reasons which are discussed further in this section.

4.2  NLSCY Sample Design

In terms of sampling, the starting point for the NLSCY design was the

household. Sampled households actually came from three possible sources

which have been labelled as the Main Component, the Integrated

Component and the Territories Component.

4.2.1  The Main Component

For Cycle 1 of the NLSCY the requirement was to select households

with children, specifically children 0 to 11 years of age. The problem is that the

majority of households do not contain children in this age range. In fact

approximately only 26% of Canadian households in the 10 provinces

contain at least one child in the 0 to 11 age range. A method had to be

found to facilitate finding households likely to contain children, otherwise

precious dollars would have had to be spent screening households in order

to identify those with children. The answer was found with Statistics

Canada's Labour Force Survey (LFS).

The Labour Force Survey is conducted on a monthly basis and collects

basic demographic information about all household members of a

representative sample of Canadian households as well as labour market

information about the adults living in these households. For the NLSCY

households that were currently or had recently been in the LFS sample were

examined to determine which had children. This served as the basis of the

household sample for the NLSCY Main Component. Approximately 12,900

households were selected for the sample for the NLSCY Main Component.

It should be mentioned that the LFS excludes certain populations since they

are not part of the LFS sample frame, specifically individuals living in the

Yukon or Northwest Territories, individuals living in institutions, and finally

individuals living on Indian Reserves. In order to compensate for the first

exclusion (i.e., the Yukon and Northwest Territories) the NLSCY introduced

the Territories Component as described below. The undercoverage that

resulted for the other exclusions (institutions and Indian Reserves)

represents approximately 0.5% of children 0 to 11 years of age living in the

10 provinces.

4.2.2   The Integrated Component  (NPHS)

At the same time that the NLSCY was being designed

there was another national longitudinal survey being launched by Statistics Canada; namely the National Population Health Survey (NPHS). Its purpose is to produce

estimates of physical and mental health of Canadians and to identify the

factors that determine good and ill health.

Because both the NLSCY and the NPHS needed to collect data on the

health of Canadian children, it was decided that a portion of the sample and

content of the two surveys would be integrated for the 10 provinces. The

children selected by the NPHS were part of the sample for both surveys.

The household sample for the Integrated Component was selected in a

manner very similar to what was used for the Main Component; it was

based on the Labour Force Survey frame. However it was a fresh sample

that was selected specifically for the NPHS as opposed to households

already participating in the Labour Force Survey. The way that this plan was

implemented for Cycle 1 was that for a certain portion of the NPHS

household sample, a random selection of one person in the household was

made, with no restriction on age; i.e., everyone in the household, including

children, had an equal chance of being selected. If this selected person was

a child aged 0 to 11,  then this household was considered to be part of the

Integrated sample and the NLSCY interview was administered to that

household; otherwise the NPHS was conducted. There were approximately

2,700 NLSCY households selected for the Integrated Component.

The exclusions that were discussed above for the Main Component (the

Yukon, Northwest Territories, institutions and Indian Reserves) also apply to

the NPHS Component.

4.2.3  The Territories Component

The household sample for the Main and the Integrated

Components were both based on the Labour Force sample frame which excludes the Yukon and Northwest Territories (NWT). However there was a requirement to have

estimates for the north for both the NLSCY and the NPHS. Therefore the

Territories Component was introduced which again was an integrated

sample for both NLSCY and NPHS. The sample for the Territories

Component was drawn from the population of private occupied dwellings.

The Yukon sample excludes institutions and unorganized areas. The NWT

sample has the same exclusions as well as very remote areas and very

small communities.

In terms of implementation for the territories sample, if there was a least one

child 0 to 11 in any of the selected dwellings, then the NLSCY was

conducted for this dwelling. The goal for Cycle 1 was to produce a sample

that would yield data for approximately 2,300 children living in each of the

Yukon and NWT.

The Territories Component is somewhat different than the other

components in that it is fully integrated with NPHS. For households with

children the NLSCY was administered for children living in the household

and as well one person was selected at random in each household for the

NPHS. For Cycle 1, if that person was 12 years of age or older the NPHS

was administered. As such, it was necessary to cut down on the content of

both surveys in order to reduce respondent burden. As well, the collection

methodology was somewhat different in that it was not computer-assisted

interviewing that was used, but rather paper questionnaires.

In this first release of NLSCY data, only data from the 10 provinces have

been included.  Data for the territories have not yet been processed and will

be part of a future release sometime during 1997. When the data for the

Yukon and NWT are released, an updated version of this guide will be

produced with a full discussion of the sample design and content for the

Territories Component.

All further discussion in this current version of the microdata guide will be

limited to the design and content for the 10 provinces (i.e., the Main the and

Integrated Components).

4.2.4  The Child Sample

Once a sample of households was selected for the NLSCY the next step

was to select children.

For the Main Component one child 0 to 11 years of age who lived the

majority of the time in each selected household was selected at random.

Then other children in the same economic family as this selected child were

selected at random up to a maximum of four children per household.

For the Integrated Component a child had already been selected for the

health survey as described above. As was done for the Main Component,

additional children in the same economic family were selected at random to

a maximum of four children aged 0 to 11.

4.3  Sample Allocation

The NLSCY sample for Cycle 1 was constructed taking two important

requirements into consideration. A sufficient sample was required in each of

the 10 provinces to allow for the production of reliable estimates for all

children 0 to 11 years of age. The sample allocation was derived such that

the smaller provinces had sufficient sample to meet this requirement.

A second requirement was that it was necessary to have a large enough

sample to produce estimates at the Canada level by seven key age

groupings or cohorts: 0 to 11 months, 1, 2 to 3, 4 to 5, 6 to 7, 8 to 9, and 10

to 11 years. These groupings will permit analysis every two years by these

specific age cohorts while maintaining an overemphasis in the youngest age

groups (0 to 11 months and one year olds) which was a requirement for the

survey. For the NLSCY Main Component it was possible to oversample

households which contained at least one child in the youngest two age

groupings to allow for the sample requirements for these age groups.

4.4  Sample Size

The first cycle of the NLSCY resulted in a responding sample of 13,439

households. In these responding households 22,831 children 0 to 11 years

of age were selected to participate in the survey. The following tables

provide a breakdown of these children by province and by age.

5.0  Data Collection

Data collection for Cycle 1 of the NLSCY took place between the fall of 1994

and spring of 1995.  There were two major forums under which data were

collected; namely the household collection and the school collection.

5.1   The Household Collection

For the household collection, data were collected from a variety of

respondents using different data collection methods. Below is a description

of each type of questionnaire used in the household.

The Household Roster

The first step was to complete a Household Roster for each household in

the NLSCY sample with a knowledgable household member. This roster

asked for basic demographic information for each household member as

well as some questions on dwelling conditions. As part of the roster, a

"relationship grid" was completed. This grid was used to establish the

relationship of everyone in the household to everyone else in the household.

Using this relationship information it was possible to derive a series of

variables to describe the family situation of the child as discussed in Section

8.4.

Once the household roster was completed,  the computer system randomly

selected one child 0 to 11 years of age living in the household. A question

was asked as to which person in the household was the Person Most

Knowledgeable about that child. This person was labelled as the PMK for

this household. In most cases the PMK was the mother of the child. More

information about the PMK is presented in Section 8.3.

The PMK was then asked to complete a set of three questionnaires: the

General Questionnaire, the Parent Questionnaire, and the Child

Questionnaire. Proxy reporting was permitted as discussed in Section 5.5.

The Parent Questionnaire

The purpose of the Parent Questionnaire was to gather general health

information for both the PMK and her spouse/partner and to get some

general information on the child's social environment including mental health

of the PMK, social support, family functioning and characteristics of the

neighbourhood.

The General Questionnaire

The General Questionnaire was completed for both the PMK and the

spouse/partner of the PMK. The purpose of the General Questionnaire was

to collect socio-economic information for the PMK and spouse/partner.

Topic areas included education, labour force and income.

In future cycles of the NLSCY, the Parent and the General Questionnaires

will be combined to form one survey instrument, for each of the PMK and

spouse/partner.

The Child's Questionnaire

The Child's Questionnaire was completed for selected children in the

household, aged newborn to 11 years. Children in the same economic

family as the originally selected child (on the household roster) were

selected at random to a maximum of four (including the originally selected

child). A maximum of four was used for respondent burden reasons. Topic

areas on the Child's Questionnaire included among others, health,

behaviour, education, literacy, parenting, child care and custody history.

The PPVT-R

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test - Revised (PPVT-R) was

administered by the interviewer to each selected child aged four to five.

Verbal permission was requested of the PMK before the test was

administered. The purpose of the test was to measure school readiness of

the child. More information about this test is presented in Section 9.21.

Once the entire NLSCY interview had been completed and the Interviewer

had left the household she/he completed an assessment questionnaire to

assess the conditions under which the test was administered to indicate

factors which may have influenced the child's responses and his/her overall

reaction to the test.

The 10-11 Questionnaire

This questionnaire was self-completed by each child aged 10 to 11 selected

for the NLSCY sample. When the PMK gave permission, the Interviewer

provided the questionnaire to the child and encouraged the child to

complete the questionnaire in a private setting. Upon completion, the

questionnaire was sealed in an envelope to ensure confidentiality of the

child. The parent was not permitted to see the child's completed

questionnaire. She was informed of this before she gave permission for the

child to complete the questionnaire. It was hoped that this procedure would

increase the likelihood that the child would provide accurate and honest

information.

The objective of this questionnaire was to collect information directly from

the child on a variety of aspects of his/her life in order to supplement, and in

subsequent analyses, compare with information obtained from the parent

and teacher. Some of the topic areas covered were friends and family,

school, feelings and behaviours, smoking and drinking and activities.

Neighbourhood Observation by Interviewer

Once the Interviewer left the respondent's home, she/he completed a

questionnaire (on the computer) giving her/his perceptions of the

neighbourhood in which the respondent resided. This information is

intended to supplement the information on the neighbourhood provided by

the PMK.

All of the information for the household collection (except for the 10 to 11

Questionnaire) was collected in a face-to-face or telephone interview using

computer-assisted interviewing (CAI).  Questions were asked to the

respondent in the home or by telephone and directly entered into a

computer by the interviewer. This made it possible to perform some on the

spot edits and basic quality checks to detect errors and to correct errors with

the help of the respondent if necessary.

More information about the content of these various questionnaires included

in this first release of NLSCY data can be found in Section 9 of this

document.

5.2  The School Collection

The school collection was another very important element of the NLSCY.

For all children in the Cycle 1 sample who were attending school, the PMK

was asked to give written permission to allow for information to be collected

from the child's teacher and principal. In cases where the child was in grade

2 or above the PMK was asked to give permission to allow the teacher to

administer a short mathematics computation test to the child. Thus, the

school collection involved three questionnaires. These questionnaires were

mailed out to teachers and principals, who were asked to complete the

questionnaires and mail them back to Statistics Canada in the envelopes

provided.

The Teacher's Questionnaire

The goal of the Teacher's Questionnaire was to collect information about the

child's academic achievement and behaviour at school, as well as

information on characteristics of the class and the teacher's instructional

practices.

The Principal's Questionnaire

The goal of the Principal's Questionnaire was to gather information on the

school environment in order to assess how this may impact child

development. Consequently, the Principal's Questionnaire collected

information on school policies, resources and educational climate, rather

than data about a specific child.

The Math Computation Test

The math test that the teacher was to administer was a shortened version of

the Mathematics Computation Test of the standardized Canadian

Achievement Tests, Second Edition (CAT/2).  CAT/2 is a series of tests

designed to measure achievement in basic academic skills.

5.3  Computer-Assisted Interviewing

Data collection for the NLSCY relied heavily on computer-assisted personal

interviewing (CAPI) technology.  The CAPI system has two main parts;

Case Management and the survey specific part.

The Case Management system controls the case assignment and data

transmission for the survey.  For the NLSCY, a case refers to a household

selected for the NLSCY sample. The Case Management system also

automatically records management information for each contact (or

attempted contact) with respondents, and provides reports for the

management of the collection process.

The Case Management system routes the questionnaire applications and

sample file from headquarters to the regional offices, and from the regional

offices to the interviewer laptops.  The returning data take the reverse route.

All data is encrypted for transmission, and the data are unencrypted only

once resident on a separate secure computer with no external access.

The survey-specific part of CAPI includes an introductory component with

procedures for contact and selection of households. Once a contact has

been made and household composition has been established, the CAPI

system generates applicable questionnaire components dependent on the

household composition and the outcome of the selection procedures. For

Cycle 1 of the NLSCY, some of the specific components that were

generated included a Parent and General Questionnaire for the PMK and

spouse/partner and Child's Questionnaire for up to four children aged 0 to

11 in each household. These components are discussed in greater detail in

Section 5.1.

The use of CAPI technology allowed for high quality collection of complex

population-specific content sections.  For example, the system facilitated the

collection of the relationships of all household members to each other (i.e.,

the relationship grid).  This wealth of information will enable a detailed

analysis of family structures, an important concept for analysis of the child

information.  This type of collection would be very difficult to implement in a

paper and pencil environment.

5.4  Survey Timing

The initial plan was to have four collection periods for the household

collection. Data for the Main Component were to be collected in December

1994 and February 1995 and data for the Integrated Component in

November 1994 and March 1995, coinciding with NPHS selection periods.

The main and integrated samples were split between the two potential

collection periods. Each of the four collection periods lasted approximately

two weeks.

Once collection actually started it was found that the response rate was not

as high as originally hoped. Two back-up procedures were put in place to

alleviate this situation. One was to allow for the sample to be carried

forward to a future collection period in the case of a non-response. For

example if in December a household could not be reached because no one

was at home for the entire collection period, then this case was sent out

again with the February sample and further attempts were made at that time

to contact the household.

At the end of the four collection periods it was decided that the response

rate could still be improved if more effort were placed on converting non-respondents. In June 1995 all non-responding cases were sent out again to

see if these households could be converted to respondents. Statistics

Canada's Regional Offices were asked to assign the "best" interviewers to

these cases.

The school collection took place from March to June 1995. First,

questionnaire packages were mailed to teachers and principals with

instructions on how the various instruments should be completed.

Approximately one week after the initial mailing a postcard was sent out to

thank all respondents and to remind those who had not yet responded to do

so. Roughly two weeks later, a second questionnaire package was sent out

to teachers and principals who still had not responded. Finally three weeks

later non-responding teachers and principals were contacted by telephone

and encouraged to participate. It should be noted the school collection was

not attempted for households converted in the June follow-up since by this

time it was far too late in the school year to allow for this collection to take

place.

5.5   Proxy Reporting

For the Child Questionnaire, the Parent Questionnaire and the General

Questionnaire, it was intended that the respondent should be the PMK, and

indeed in most cases it was the PMK who completed these instruments.

However, in some circumstances information was accepted from another

household member. For example, if the PMK was away from home for the

duration of the interview period, then information was accepted from another

household member. For the Parent and General Questionnaires, the

spouse/partner sometimes wanted to provide his own information. The

following is a summary of who provided the information for each of these

questionnaires.

PROXY REPORTING FOR THE

CHILD, PARENT AND GENERAL QUESTIONNAIRES

PMK	SPOUSE	OTHER

RESPONDENT	RESPONDENT	HOUSEHOLD

MEMBER

RESPONDENT

Child Questionnaire	97.7%   	2.2%   	0.1%

Parent Questionnaire

for the PMK	99.1%   	0.8%   	0.1%

Parent Questionnaire

for the spouse/partner	92.5%   	7.5%   	-

General Questionnaire

for the PMK	98.1%   	1.6%   	0.3%

General Questionnaire

for the spouse/partner	86.4%   	13.5%   	0.1%

For all other questionnaires that were part of the NLSCY (i.e., the 10 to 11

Questionnaire, the PPVT-R, and the Teacher and Principal Questionnaires)

proxy reporting was not permitted.

5.6  Interview Length

For the household collection, the interview length for responding NLSCY

households was approximately two hours.

The total amount of time that it took to complete the major questionnaires

that were part of the NLSCY household collection are presented in the table

below. The table gives median interview times (i.e., the time at which 50% of

the cases took more time and 50% took less).  It should be noted that all

extreme times (high and low) were removed before these times were

derived.

The following table gives the  median interview times for various family

scenarios. The number of selected children (0 to 11) in the household was

the factor that had the strongest impact on interview length. For households

for which the PMK had a spouse/partner and four children, the interview

length was well over three hours, and in some cases took over four hours.

For Cycle 2 of the NLSCY a decision has been made to complete child

interviews for a maximum of two children per household in order to reduce

response burden.

5.7   Interview Training, Supervision and Control

The NLSCY was conducted by Labour Force Survey interviewers. All LFS

interviewers are under the supervision of a staff of senior interviewers who

are responsible for ensuring that interviewers are familiar with the concepts

and procedures involved in the survey, and also for periodically monitoring

their interviewers and reviewing their completed documents.  Senior

interviewers ensure that prompt follow-up action is taken for refusal and

other non-response cases. If necessary, non-response cases are

transferred to the senior and reassigned. The senior interviewers are, in

turn, under the supervision of the LFS program managers, located in

Statistics Canada regional offices.

For the NLSCY a combination of classroom training and self-study materials

were prepared to ensure that interviewers had a proper understanding of

survey concepts. The self-study involved the interviewers reading the

Interviewer's Manual prepared for the survey and completing home study

exercises. During the classroom portion of the training, a program manager

or a senior interviewer presented an overview of the survey, went through a

mock interview with the participants, gave more specific training on

administering the PPVT-R and presented exercises to help interviewers

minimize non-response. In total, 14 hours were devoted to these training

activities for each interviewer.

GUIDE02
6.0 Data Processing

The main output of the NLSCY is a "clean" microdata file.  This section

presents a brief summary of some of the processing steps involved in

producing this file.

6.1  CAI Editing

As discussed in Section 5.1, all of the information for the household

collection (except for the 10 to 11 Questionnaire) was collected in a face-to-face or telephone interview using computer-assisted interviewing (CAI).

As such, it was possible to build various edits and checks into the questionnaire

for the various household CAI components, in order to ensure high quality of

the collected information.

Review screens were created for important and complex information.  For

example, the selection procedures for the PMK, a critical aspect of the

survey, were based on the household roster, composed of a demographic

record for each household member, and the relationships of each

household member to each other household member.  As these are critical

items for the NLSCY, the collected information was displayed for

confirmation with the respondent before continuing the interview.

Range checks were used for continuous variables, to confirm or correct

unusual answers during collection.  For example, a question was asked

about the weight of the child at birth. If the respondent gave a weight that

was either significantly high or low, the interviewer was given an instruction

to confirm the answer with the respondent.

All flow patterns were automatically built into the CAI system. For example,

in the Child Care Section, an opening question was asked if the PMK used

daycare or babysitting for the child to allow her (and her spouse/partner) to

work or study. If she did, the CAI system continued with a series of

questions about the specific care method(s) she used for the child. If not,

the CAI system automatically skipped this series of questions.

Some consistency edits were included as part of the CAI system, and

interviewers were instructed to "slide back" to the applicable question to

correct for inconsistencies.  Instructions were displayed to interviewers for

handling or correcting problems such as incomplete or incorrect data.  For

example, in the collection of the Labour Force Section, start and end dates

for jobs were critical for continuing the topic.  For cases with incomplete date

information, the system informed the interviewers that dates were required,

and that the rest of the section would be skipped if they did not enter the

required dates. The interviewer was allowed to slide back to the appropriate

date field to make a correction.

6.2  Data Capture

There were some questionnaires for the NLSCY that did not make use of

computer-assisted interviewing; namely the 10 to 11 Self-complete

Questionnaire, the Teacher's Questionnaire and the Principal's

Questionnaire. All three of these questionnaires were completed directly by

a survey respondent. A brief description of these questionnaires is given in

Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

Capture of data for these three questionnaires was accomplished using

minicomputers located in each of Statistics Canada's Regional Offices.

During this process, any document containing at least one respondent-completed

 item was captured and an unedited version of the computer

record was electronically transmitted to Head Office for further processing.

As part of the data capture system there were some quality checks built in to

flag unusual entries to warn the capture operator of potentially incorrect

entries. As well, the capture systems were built to follow the flow of the

various questionnaires and would automatically proceed to the correct

question in a skip pattern. The data capture operator however, was

permitted to back-up and enter off-path information if that was what

appeared on the questionnaire. Capture operators were instructed to use

"head-down" keying and enter what they saw (i.e., whatever was on the

questionnaires). Mistakes on the questionnaire were then edited at a later

stage.

  6.3   Minimum Completion Requirements

One of the first steps in the NLSCY processing was to define the

requirements for a responding household.

In some cases there was no NLSCY information collected for a sampled

household.  This happened, for example, when an interviewer was unable to

make contact with a selected household for the entire collection period, in

other cases the household refused to participate in the survey, special

circumstances such as an illness or death in a family or extreme weather

conditions sometimes prevented an interview from taking place. For these

cases where there was no information collected for a household, the

household was dropped from the NLSCY file and the sampling weights for

responding households were inflated to account for these "dropped"

households. This procedure is discussed in detail in Section 7.

In other cases it was possible to carry out some of the interview, but a

complete interview was not obtained for a variety of reasons. Some

respondents were willing to give only a certain amount of time to the

completion of the survey. In some cases an interviewer completed a portion

of the survey with the respondent and made an appointment to continue at

another time but was unable to recontact the respondent.

It was necessary to come up with a criteria for deciding what to do with

these "partial" interviews. If the majority of the survey had been completed,

obviously the preference was to keep this case and label it as a responding

household. However if only very minimal information was collected the

decision was made to drop the household and treat it as a non-responding

household. In order to make this assessment the data collected for each

selected child in the household were examined. This was done by looking at

certain key questions across the Child Questionnaire. An assessment was

made as to whether or not there was an adequate amount of information

collected for at least one child in each household. If there was, this

household was maintained in the responding sample. All missing variables

for this household were set to not-stated or imputed. If there was not

adequate information for at least one child then the household was dropped

from the responding sample and treated as a non-response.

A child response code was formed for each child record on the NLSCY file

by looking at key questions across the Child's Questionnaire. The questions

that were considered were dependent on age since content varied

considerably by age. There were 7 to 8 "key" questions chosen (in a

somewhat random fashion) for each age group.

The child response code can be used as a measurement of data quality

and was used to determine which child records were "good enough to

keep".

The child response code should be interpreted in the following way:

CHILD RESPONSE CODES

RESPONSE	 DESCRIPTION

 CODE

000	the record has a valid value for all key fields

001	the record has an invalid code (refusal, don't know or

not answered) to at least one key field but there is enough

information on the record to consider it to be"acceptable"

002	the record has at least one valid value for the key

fields but there is not enough information to consider

the record as "acceptable"

003	the record does not have a valid value on any key

fields but the child record was started

004	the record was not started

"Acceptable" and "non-acceptable" were defined as follows.

Calculate:

R = (valid responses to key questions)  + (don't know's to key questions)

number of key questions

D = Don't knows to key questions

number of key questions

If R>50% and D<30% the record is acceptable. Otherwise it is not. For a

household to be considered a responding NLSCY household there had to

be at least one acceptable child record.

The following are the number of child records by response code:

CHILD RESPONSE CODES

RESPONSE CODE	# CHILD RECORDS

000	22,183

001	563

002	140

003	28

004	1,806

In total 22,746 child records were determined to be "good enough to keep"

(codes 000 and 001). These children came from 13,439 households, which

is the number of households maintained on the NLSCY file. All the

appropriate questionnaires were maintained for these responding

households. Variables on missing questionnaires for the household were

imputed or set to not-stated. There were 22,831 child records for these

responding households. Out of these, there were 85 child records that were

"not acceptable" but were kept because there was at least one "acceptable"

child record for the household.

6.4  Head Office Editing

For the CAI questionnaires for the NLSCY there were two stages of editing

conducted.

Pre-edit

The purpose of the Pre-edit was to carry out some basic formatting and

preliminary editing. The following are some of the procedures that were

carried out:

Small data base files were created for each section of each

questionnaire. A record was created for the section only if the

section was applicable. For example, the section on

temperament was only applicable for children 3 months to 3

years old. Therefore a temperament record was only created for

children in this age group.

Within several sections, different wording was used for different

age groups. For example, in the temperament section, for 0 to 2

year-olds, Question 4 was "How easy is it for you to know what's

bothering him/her when he/she cries or fusses?" For 3 year-olds

question was "How easy is it for you to know what's bothering

him/her when he/she is irritable?" Initially these questions were

stored as separate variables. As part of the pre-edit the different

versions were collapsed into one output variable. On the record

layout (in Section 14), the various wording for the questions are

all given.

The skip pattens for each section were processed. Codes were set up to distinguish between answers which were valid, not-applicable, refused, don't know, or not-stated. These codes are discussed in detail in Section 6.5.4.

Consistency Editing

After the pre-edit, consistency editing was carried out. The goal of

consistency editing is to verify the relationship between two or more

variables. For example, in the Socio-Demographic Section, for children who

were not born in Canada, there was a question on what year they first

immigrated to Canada (ASDCQ2B). There was a consistency edit which

compared this question to the year of birth of the child. If the year of

immigration was before year of birth then it was set to not-stated in the edit.

Some of the other consistency editing that was done for the various sections

of the questionnaire and any data quality concerns that were noted as a

result of this editing are discussed in detail in Section 9 of this document.

For the questionnaires that were collected using a paper version, essentially

the same steps of editing were carried out. In the pre-edit, however there

was an additional requirement. In some cases a value was captured that

was not allowable for a particular item. This was possible due to the fact the

data capture operator was given the ability to overwrite the capture edits.

These invalid entires were set to a "missing value" in the pre-edit. Another

difference is that editing for flow patterns was carried out at the consistency

editing stage for the paper questionnaires.

6.5  Naming Convention and Coding Structure for NLSCY Variables

The NLSCY microdata file documentation system has employed certain

standards to label variable names and values. The intent is to make

interpretation of the data more straight-forward for the user. These

standards are described in this section.

6.5.1  Naming Convention for Variables

In the NLSCY microdata file a naming convention has

been used for each variable in order to give users specific information about the variable. All variable names are at most eight characters long so that these names can

easily be used with analytical software packages such as SAS or SPSS.

The variable names are of the following format:

A	  SE	  C	  Q	  nnx

where:

A:	refers to the NLSCY cycle. "A" means the first cycle, "B" the

second, "C" the third etc. Obviously for this first release all

variable names will start with an "A".

SE:	refers to the section of the questionnaire where the question

was asked or the section from which the variable was derived.

The table in Section 6.5.2 gives the acronyms which are used

for the sections included in this first release of Cycle 1 data.

More information about the content for each of these sections

can be found in Section 9.

C:	refers to the collection unit or the unit to which the variable

refers. There are four possibilities:

C    means the variable refers to the child

P    means the variable refers to the PMK

S    means the variable refers to the spouse/partner

H    means the variable refers to the household

Q:	refers to the variable type. There are four possibilities:

Q	means the variable refers to a question that was asked

directly on one of the NLSCY questionnaires

S	means that the variable refers to a score calculated for one

of the scales used on the questionnaire (See Section 9.1)

D	means the variable was derived from other questions that

were asked on the questionnaire (See Section 6.8)

I	means the variable is a flag created to indicate that an item

has been imputed (See Section 6.7)

nnx:	refers to the question or variable identification. Generally nn is

a sequential number assigned to the variable; and x is a

sequential alphabetic indicator for a series of variables of a

similar type

6.5.2 Acronym Names for Questionnaire Sections

The following table gives the acronym names that were used for each

section of the various NLSCY questionnaires. As explained in Section 6.5.1

this acronym is embedded in the variable name for all variables on the

NLSCY microdata file. The acronym is the second and third characters of

the variable name.

6.5.3 Examples of Variable Names

In order to illustrate the naming convention used for variables

included on the NLSCY microdata file the following examples are given.

ALFSQ2	This refers to Q2 in the Labour Force Section for the

spouse/partner.

The "A" indicates it is a Cycle 1 variable.

The "LF" indicates the Labour Force Section.

The "S" indicates it refers to the spouse/partner.

The "Q" indicates it was an item asked directly on the

questionnaire.

The "2" is the ID of the item.

APRCS03	This is a positive interaction score on the parenting scale for a 2

to 11 year-old child.

The "A" indicates it is a Cycle 1 variable.

The "PR" indicates the Parenting Section.

The "C" indicates it refers to the child.

The "S" indicates the variable refers to a score.

The "03" is the ID of the variable.

 6.5.4 Coding Structure for NLSCY Variables

Some standards have been developed for the coding structure of NLSCY

variables in order to explain certain situations in a consistent fashion across

all variables. The following describes these various situations and the code

used to describe the situation.

Refusal:

During a CAI interview, the respondent may choose to

refuse to provide an answer for a particular item. The CAI

system has a specific function key that the interviewer

presses to indicate a refusal. This information is recorded

for the specific item refused and transmitted back to Head

Office.

On the NLSCY microdata file an item which was refused

is indicated by a code "8". For a variable that is one digit

long the code will be "8", for a 2 digit variable "98" for a

three digit variable "998" etc.

Don't Know:

In other cases the respondent may not know the answer

to a particular item. Again the CAI system has a specific

function key to describe this situation.

On the NLSCY microdata file, the code used to indicate

that the respondent did not know the answer to an item is

"7". For a variable that is one digit long the code will be

"7", for a two-digit variable "97" for a three-digit variable

"997" etc.

Not Applicable:

In some cases a question was not applicable to the

survey respondent. A code "6", "96" "996" ...has been

used on the microdata file to indicate that a question or

derived variable is not applicable.

1/	In some cases a single question or series of

questions was not applicable. For example, the

question on number of hours per week the child is

cared for in a daycare centre (ACRCQ1G1) is only

applicable for children for whom this type of care is

used (ACRCQ1G=1). Otherwise there will be a

code 996 for this question.

2/	In other cases an entire section of the

questionnaire was not applicable or even an entire

questionnaire. For example, the Motor and Social

Development Section was applicable only to

children 0 to 3 years old.For all children outside of

this age group (i.e., 4 years and older) the motor

and social development variables on the microdata

file have been set to not-applicable ("6", "96", "996" etc.).

For cases where the PMK did not have a

spouse or common-law partner residing in the

household, all "spouse" variables (e.g., the Labour

Force Section and the Education Section for the

spouse) have been set to not applicable.

Not-Stated:

In some cases, as part of Head Office processing the

answer to an item has been set to not-stated. The not-stated code

indicates that the answer to the question is unknown. Not-stated codes

were assigned for three main reasons.

1/	As part of the CAI interview, the interviewer was

permitted to enter a refusal or don't know code, as

described above. When this happened the CAI

system was often programmed to skip out of this

particular section of the questionnaire. In the case

of refusal, it was assumed that the line of

questioning was sensitive and it was likely that the

respondent would not answer any more questions

on this particular topic area.In the case of a don't

know it was assumed that the respondent was not

well enough informed to answer further questions.

As part of the NLSCY processing system, it was

decided that all of these subsequent questions

should be assigned a not-stated code. A not-stated

code means that the question was not asked to the

respondent. In some cases it is not even known if

the question was applicable to the respondent.

2/	In some cases a specific questionnaire was not

started or it was started but ended prematurely.

For example, there may have been some kind of

an interruption, or the respondent decided that

she/he wished to terminate the interview. If there

was enough information collected to establish this

household as a responding household, then all

remaining items on the questionnaire (and on

questionnaires that had not yet been started) were

set to not-stated. The one exception was that if it

was known that a certain section or a certain

questionnaire was not applicable, then these

questions were set to not applicable.

3/	The third situation in which not-stated codes were

used was as a result of consistency edits. When

the relationship between groups of variables was

checked for consistency, if there was an error,

often one or more of the variables was set to not-stated. See

Section 6.4 for more information about consistency editing.

For derived variables if one or more of the input variables

to the derived variable had a refusal, don't know or not-stated code, then the derived

variable was set to not-stated.

6.6  Coding of Open-ended Questions

A few data items on the NLSCY questionnaire were recorded by

interviewers in an open-ended format. For example, in the Labour Force

Section, if a PMK had worked in the previous 12 months, she was asked to

identify a main job. Then there were a series of open-ended questions about

this main job:

Thinking about this main job, what kind of business, service or

industry is this?

Again, thinking about this main job, what kind of work were

you doing?

In this work, what were your most important duties or

activities?

The interviewer recorded in words the answer provided by the PMK. At

Head Office, these written descriptions were coded into industry and

occupation codes to describe the nature of the work of the PMK. Similar

information was collected for the spouse/partner and codes assigned to

describe the nature of his work.

The coding systems used were the 1980 Standard Occupational

Classification codes (SOC) and the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification

codes (SIC). Grouped versions of these codes are available on the

microdata file (ALFPD07 and ALFPD08 for the PMK, and ALFSD07 and

ALFSD08 for the spouse/partner).

6.7  Imputation

For various reasons there are certain variables that may be missing for

responding households on the NLSCY file. This is usually referred to as item

non-response. In Section 6.5.4, the various codes that have been used to

describe the reason for the item non-response ("refusal", "don't know", "not

stated") are described.

For some variables on the NLSCY file, however, rather than using a special

non-response code, imputation has been carried out. Imputation is the

process whereby missing or inconsistent items are "filled in" with plausible

values. For the NLSCY,imputation was carried out for household income,

PMK income and for some of the scales that were administered. The

methods used for imputation for these variables are described in detail in

Section 9. Imputation flags have been included on the NLSCY file so that

users will have information on the extent of imputation and what specific

items have been imputed on what records. All imputation flags on the

NLSCY microdata file have an "I" as the fifth character of the variable name.

For example, the name of the imputation flag for household income

(AINHQ03) is AINHI03A.

6.8 Creation of Derived Variables

A number of data items on the microdata file have been derived by

combining items on the questionnaire in order to facilitate data analysis. For

example, in the section on child care, the PMK was asked a series of

questions about the types of care she used for the child to allow her and her

spouse/partner to work or study. For each type of care there was a question

on the number of hours per week the child was in that type of care. Using

this information, a variable was formed to indicate the primary care

arrangement used to allow the PMK and spouse/partner to work or study. It

was derived by looking at the number of hours for each care arrangement

and setting it to the method for which the number of hours was the greatest.

All derived variables on the NLSCY microdata file have a "D" as the fifth

character of the variable name. The name of the variable for the primary

care arrangement is ACRCD01.

7.0 Weighting

The principle behind estimation in a probability sample such as the NLSCY

is that each person in the sample "represents", besides himself or herself,

several other persons not in the sample.For example, in a 2% simple

random sample of the population, each person in the sample represents 50

persons in the population.

The weighting phase is a step which calculates, for each record, what this

number is (i.e., the number of individuals in the population represented by

this record).This weight appears on the NLSCY microdata file

(AWTCW01), and must be used to derive meaningful estimates from the

survey.For example, if the number of children living in single parent

families is to be estimated, it is done by selecting the records referring to

those individuals in the sample with that characteristic and summing the

weights found on those records.

Since the NLSCY is based on the Labour Force Survey frame, the

derivation of weights for the survey records is clearly tied to the weighting

procedure used for the LFS.The LFS weighting procedure is briefly

described below.

7.1 Weighting Procedures for the LFS

In the LFS, the final weight attached to each record is the product of the

following factors: the basic weight, the cluster sub-weight, the balancing

factor for non-response, the rural-urban factor and the province-age-sex

ratio adjustment factor. These various factors are described below.

Basic Weight

In a probability sample, the sample design itself determines weights which

must be used to produce unbiased estimates of the population. Each record

must be weighted by the inverse of the probability of selecting the person to

whom the record refers.In the example of a 2% simple random sample, this

probability would be .02 for each person and the records must be weighted

by 1/.02=50.Because all eligible individuals in a dwelling are interviewed

for the LFS (directly or by proxy), this probability is essentially the same as

the probability with which the dwelling is selected.

Cluster Sub-weight

The cluster delineation is such that the number of dwellings in the sample

increases very slightly with moderate growth in the housing stock.

Substantial growth can be tolerated in an isolated cluster before the

additional sample represents a field collection problem.However, if growth

takes place in more than one cluster in an interviewer assignment, the

cumulative effect of all increases may create a workload problem.In

clusters where substantial growth has taken place, sub-sampling is used as

a means of keeping interviewer assignments manageable. The cluster

sub-weight represents the inverse of this sub-sampling ratio in clusters

where sub-sampling has occurred.

Non-response

Notwithstanding the strict controls of the LFS, some non-response is

inevitable, despite all the attempts made by the interviewers. The LFS

non-response rate is approximately 5%. For certain types of non-response

(eg. household temporarily absent, refusal), data from a previous month's

interview with the household if any, is brought forward and used as the

current month's data for the household.

In other cases, non-response is compensated for by proportionally

increasing the weights of responding households. The weight of each

responding record is increased by the ratio of the number of households that

should have been interviewed, divided by the number that were actually

interviewed. This adjustment is done separately for geographic areas called

balancing units.It is based on the assumption that the households that

have been interviewed represent the characteristics of those that should

have been interviewed. To the extent that this assumption is not true, the

estimates will be somewhat biased.

Rural-urban Factor

In NSRUs without sufficient rural and urban population for explicit urban and

rural strata to be formed, each primary sampling unit (PSU) is composed of

both urban and rural parts.Information concerning the total population in

rural and urban areas is available from the 1981 Census for each PSU as

well as for each economic region (ER) in which explicit urban/rural

stratification is not done. Comparison by ER with the actual 1981 rural or

urban census counts indicates whether the selected PSUs over- or

under-represent the respective areas. The ratio of actual rural-urban counts

is divided by the corresponding estimates. These two factors are computed

for each relevant ER at the time of selection of the PSUs and are entered on

each sample record according to the appropriate area (rural or urban) of the

NSRU. Changes in these factors are incorporated at the time of PSU

rotations.

LFS Sub-weight

The product of the previously described weighting factors is called the LFS

sub-weight.All members of the same sampled dwelling have the same sub-weight.

7.2 Weighting Procedures for the Main and Integrated Components

The principles behind the calculation of the weights for the NLSCY for the

Main and Integrated Components are similar to those for the LFS, since for

the most part the NLSCY sample was based on the LFS sampling frame. In

Section 4 more information is given about the sampling plans for the Main

and Integrated Components.

Households that make up the NLSCY sample were in fact, drawn from four

sampling frames.

For the Main Component, the sample was composed of households that

were actually part of the LFS sample itself. The households selected for the

NLSCY were originally introduced to the LFS sample between April and

December of 1994. In October of 1994, a new sampling procedure was

introduced for the LFS. Therefore NLSCY households selected from the

LFS sample for April-September were part of the old LFS design and

households selected from the samples for October to December were part

of the new LFS design. The NLSCY weighting procedures used for the old

and new designs differ slightly and were carried out independently as

described in Section 7.2.1 and 7.2.2.

For the Integrated sample, (i.e., the sample integrated with the National

Population Health Survey - NPHS) the sampling plan was based on the new

LFS design for all provinces except for Québec. For these nine provinces a

fresh sample of households was selected from the new LFS frame

specifically for NPHS and NLSCY. These households had not been

previously survey by the LFS. The Québec households included in the

NPHS sample came from a frame that was constructed for the Enquête

sociale et de santé (ESS) conducted by Santé Québec, in 1992-1993.

The calculation of weights for children is different depending on the

sampling frame from which they were selected. The rest of this section is

devoted to explaining the adjustments made to the sampling weights for the

four sampling frames used the NLSCY, namely:

•	Main Component - old LFS design

•	Main Component - new LFS design

•	Integrated Component - for all provinces except Québec

•	Integrated Component - Québec

 7.2.1  Main Component - Old LFS Design (all provinces)

In the paragraphs that follow, a number of weight correction factors are

discussed.The first five corrections are corrections at the household level.

These corrections are the same for all children in a given household.The

sixth correction varies for each child selected within a household according

to the child's age group and sex.These correction factors, once multiplied

by the LFS sub-weight, will give the weights for children in households

belonging to the sample for the Main Component - old LFS design. In the

final stage, weights are calculated for the four sampling frames put together.

Additional corrections to the LFS sub-weight

All the corrections that follow, made to the LFS sub-weight, are intended to

compensate for the particular features of the NLSCY.

Correction 1:	Correction for number of rotation groups

The sample for the old LFS survey design is made up of six " rotation

groups ", each representing one-sixth of the Canadian population.In the

NLSCY plan, a number of rotation groups were selected which varied

according to the province and the type of household selected.The

correction for the number of rotation groups is intended to bring all the

estimates obtained into line with the national figure.Consequently, the

correction takes the following form:

__________________6_____________________________

number of rotation groups by province and type of household

For all provinces except for Ontario and Alberta, six rotation groups were

used.(For Ontario and Alberta, a sufficient number of households were

obtained with five rotation groups).

For these eight provinces, households with at least one child aged 0 or 1

were selected from the six rotation groups.The other households, with only

children aged 2 to 11 (inclusive), were selected from five rotation groups

only.The following table shows the number of rotation groups by province

and type of household:

 NUMBER OF ROTATION GROUPS SAMPLED

TYPE OF HOUSEHOLD

PROVINCE	Households with at least	Households with only

one child aged 0 or 1 	children aged 2 to 11

All provinces except

Ontario and Alberta	6	5

Ontario and Alberta	5	4

Correction 2:	Corrections for updating of sample frame

Between sample selection and collection, approximately three months

elapsed.Thus, some dwellings that were vacant at the time of sampling

were inhabited by eligible households at the time of collection.In addition,

other households, identified as being outside the target population because

they had no children in the target age group, became eligible at the time of

collection.In order to take account of households that were eligible at the

time of collection but were not selected at the time of sampling, the sub-weight of each of the responding households was adjusted by the following

two multiplicative correction factors:

 a) Correction for vacant dwellings at the time of sampling:

(No. of vacant dwellings at the time of sampling) +

(No. of households in target population at time of collection in these vacant dwellings)

No. of vacant dwellings at time of sampling

 b) Correction for households outside the target population at the

 time of sampling:

(No. of households outside target population at time of sampling) +

      (Number of these households in target population at the time of collection)

No. of households outside target population at time of sampling

The correction factor for households occupying vacant dwellings at the

time of sampling was 1.0054, while the one for households outside the

target population was 1.0049.

Correction 3: Correction for households with more than one economic

family

Sometimes a household included more than one economic family, both

with children in the target age group.When this occurred, the child

selection procedure required the selection of one of these families at

random.To take account of the families that were not selected, the sub-weight associated with such a household was multiplied by the number of

economic families present in the household with at least one child in the

target age group.This correction affected only four households.

Correction 4: Correction for households with more than four children

0 to 11 years of age

For this survey, a maximum of four children between 0 and 11 years of age

were selected per household.If the economic family had more than four

children, the children not selected were taken into account by multiplying

the sub-weight of the household by a factor equal to the number of children

0 to 11 years of age in the economic family divided by four.This correction

affected 42 households.

Correction 5: Correction for household non-response

In surveys such as the NLSCY, some households do not provide

responses for a variety of reasons: refusal, special circumstances,

language problems, temporary absence.This non-response is usually

compensated for by proportionally correcting the sub-weights of the

responding households.For the NLSCY, the correction was made by

multiplying the sub-weight of the responding households by the following

factor:

sum of adjusted weights of households sampled

  in the replicate within a stratum of the NLSCY

sum of adjusted weights of responding households

  in the replicate within a stratum of the NLSCY

The adjusted weight is the LFS sub-weight multiplied by the first four

correction factors.A different correction was made in each of thestrata

and replicates specially defined for non-response.The strata and

replicates were defined using the following information: self-representing,

non-self-representing or special economic area; urban, rural or mixed area;

included or not included in an apartment frame; and by group of rotation

group.Each of the strata and replicates retained had to contain at least 10

households and have a response rate of at least 70%.

Correction 6: Correction for post-stratification

Post-stratification was carried out on the sub-weights adjusted by the first

five correction factors to ensure that the national and provincial estimates

agreed with the January 1995 demographic estimates of the population of

children aged 0 to 11.

Post-stratification was done by province, age group (according to the

seven main age groups used in the survey), and sex of child, and by

census metropolitan area using the "raking ratio" method.Thus, for

children belonging to a given domain (formed by their province, age group,

sex and census metropolitan area), the ratio of the estimate after post-stratification

to the estimate before post-stratification in the domain gave the correction

factor for the post-stratification.

 7.2.2   Main Component - New LFS Design  (All Provinces)

The weight adjustments made for children in households belonging to the

Main Component - new design were very similar to the ones made for

children who were part of the old design as described above. The same six

correction factors were applied to the LFS sub-weight.

Correction 1:Correction for number of rotation groups

Like the old design, the sample of the new LFS design is made up of six

"rotation groups," each representing one-sixth of the Canadian population.

For the NLSCY, three of these rotation groups from the new LFS design

were selected.Therefore, the sub-weight of each LFS household was

multiplied by 2.

Correction 2:Corrections for updating of sample frame

Again, correction factors were required because of the fact that between

sample selection and collection, approximately three months elapsed.

Some dwellings that were vacant at the time of sampling were inhabited by

households eligible at the time of collection. For the new design this

correction factor was 1.0054.

In addition, other households, identified as being outside the target

population because they had no children in the target age group, became

eligible at the time of collection. For the new design this correction factor

was 1.0049.

Correction 3:Correction for households with more than one

economic family

This correction did not take place for the new design. There were no

households in the sample for the new design with more than one economic

family, both with children in the target age group.

Correction 4:Correction for households with more than four children

0 to 11 years of age

Again a correction was required for households where there were more

than four children 0 to 11 years of age (see Section 7.2.1). This correction

affected 27 households for the new design.

Correction 5:Correction for household non-response

A household non-response factor was derived for households in the new

plan in exactly the same way as was done for the old design (see Section

7.2.1). The only difference was in the definition of the strata and replicates

used for the non-response adjustment, the characteristics used were

urban, rural or mixed area; included or not included in an apartment frame;

and by group of rotation group.

Correction 6:Correction for post-stratification

For the households in the new LFS design for Québec, post-stratification

was carried out on the weights adjusted by the first five correction factors to

ensure that estimates agreed with January 1995 demographic estimates of

the population of children aged 0 to 11. The post-stratification was done by

age group and sex of child, and by census metropolitan area using the

"raking ratio" method.Thus, for children belonging to a given domain

(formed by their age group, sex and census metropolitan area), the ratio of

the estimate after post-stratification to the estimate before post-stratification

in the domain gave the correction factor for the post-stratification.

For the other nine provinces, the post-stratification correction factor will be

presented in the next section, which describes the NPHS sample frame.

Because of certain common strata between these two sample frames, the

two were combined and processed together for this final adjustment.This

strategy was necessary for calculating the variance estimate, since the two

sample frames were not mutually independent.

 7.2.3   Integrated Component (All Provinces Except Québec)

In the paragraphs that follow, the correction factors used for the Integrated

 Component (in all provinces except Québec) are presented. The Integrated

 sample selected for NPHS also used the new LFS survey plan, but a fresh

 sample households was selected i.e., not participating in the LFS.

As an initial weight, the NPHS sample uses the LFS basic weight. The first

four corrections are corrections to this basic weight at the household level.

These corrections are the same for all children in a given household. The

fifth correction varies for each child selected in a household, according to

his or her age group and sex.These correction factors, once multiplied by

the LFS basic weight, will give the weights of the children in households

belonging to the NPHS sample frame, before the final stage of weighting.

Initial corrections made to the LFS basic weight

The initial corrections that follow were made by statisticians of the NPHS

project team.Only the list of corrections is presented here.For further

details on each of them, the reader may consult the guide to the NPHS

"1994-95 Public Use Microdata Files."

•	Correction for rotation group

•	Correction for cluster growth

•	Correction for households not visited

•	Correction for empty strata in LFS

•	Correction for stabilization

•	Correction for multiple dwellings

These corrections made to the LFS basic weight resulted in the NPHS

"initial weight."

Additional corrections made to the NPHS initial weight

All the corrections that follow, were made to the NPHS initial weight, and

are intended to compensate for the particular features of the NLSCY

sample design.

Correction 1: Correction for integration into NPHS

The NPHS sample was constructed such that there were three sub-samples that contained households in the target population for the NLSCY, that is, households

with at least one child aged 0 to 11.For one of these sub-samples, only adults were selected i.e., the children in these households had a zero probability of selection.

In order to take account of these households not selected for the NLSCY,

a multiplicative factor was applied to the households in the other two sub-samples

of the NPHS.

Correction 2: Correction for households with multiple economic

families

Again it was necessary to make a correction for households with two or

more economic families each with children in the target age group (as

described in Section 7.2.1). This correction affected four households.

Correction 3: Correction for households with more than four children

0 to 11 years of age

A correction was required for households where there were more than four

children 0 to 11 years of age in the household (see Section 7.2.1).This

correction affected seven households.

Correction 4: Correction for household non-response

A household non-response factor was derived for households in the NPHS

plan in exactly the same way as was done for the new LFS design for the

Main Component (see Section 7.2.2).

Correction 5: Correction for post-stratification

As noted in the previous section, the sample frame for the Main

Component (new LFS design) and the NPHS sample frame (outside of

Québec) are not mutually independent. Some strata were common to the

two frames in the sampling.In order to take this situation into account in

calculating the variance estimate, the sample from these two frames were

combined after the correction for non-response was made.To take

account of the relative contribution of each sample frame, a series of

multiplicative "alpha" factors were derived by province and child's age

group.In each domain representing a given province and age group, the

"alpha" factor for the NPHS sample frame was calculated by dividing the

sample size for the NPHS sample frame for that domain by the size of the

sample for the two sample frames together for the domain.Similarly,

"alpha" factors were calculated for the Main Component - new LFS design.

After the adjustments for the "alpha" factors were made, a post-stratification was carried out on the weights established up to this point in

order to ensure that the provincial estimates agreed with the January 1995

demographic estimates of the population of children aged 0 to 11. The

post-stratification was done by province (except for Québec), age group,

and sex of child, and by census metropolitan area using the "raking ratio"

method.Thus, for children belonging to a given domain (formed by their

province, age group, sex and census metropolitan area), the ratio of the

estimate after post-stratification to the estimate before post-stratification in

the domain gave the correction factor for the post-stratification.

 7.2.4   Integrated Component - Québec

In the paragraphs that follow, the correction factors used for the Integrated

Component for Québec are presented. For Quebec, the NPHS used the

Enquête sociale et de santé (ESS) conducted by Santé Québec.

Additional corrections made to the ESS weight

The corrections that follow were made by statisticians on the NPHS project

team. These corrections were made to the ESS weight provided by Santé

Québec. Only the list of corrections is presented here.For further details

on each, the reader may consult the guide to the NPHS "1994-95 Public

Use Microdata files."

•	Correction for cluster growth

•	Correction for multiple dwellings

These corrections were applied to the ESS weight to obtain the NPHS

"initial weight" for Québec households.

Additional corrections made to the NPHS initial weight

All the corrections that follow, made to the NPHS initial weight, are

intended to compensate for the particular features of the NLSCY sample

design.

Correction 1:Correction for integration

For the Québec NPHS sample it was necessary to make the same

integration adjustment that was made for the other provinces as described

in Section 7.2.3.

Correction 2:	Correction for households with multiple economic

families

Again it was necessary to make a correction for households with two or

more economic families each with children in the target age group (as

described in Section 7.2.1). This correction affected only one household.

Correction 3:	Correction for households with more than four children

0 to 11 years of age

A correction was required for households where there were more than four

children 0 to 11 years of age in the household (see Section 7.2.1). This

correction affected one household.

Correction 4:	Correction for household non-response

A household non-response factor was derived for households in the NPHS

design in Québec in exactly the same way as was done for the old LFS

design for the Main Component (see Section 7.2.1).

Correction 5:	Correction for post-stratification

Post-stratification was carried out on the weights established up to the end

of correction factor 4 to ensure that estimates agree with the January 1995

demographic estimates of the population of children aged 0 to 11 in

Québec. The post-stratification was done by age group and sex of the

child, and by census metropolitan area using the "raking ratio" method.

Thus, for children belonging to a given domain (formed by their age group,

sex and census metropolitan area), the ratio of the estimate after

post-stratification to the estimate before post-stratification in the domain gives

the correction factor for post-stratification.

 7.2.5   Final Stage of Weighting

Since the NLSCY survey design uses more than one sample

frame, it was necessary to take account of the relative contribution of each sample

frame to the final estimates in calculating weights for children.

For the nine provinces other than Québec, since the sample frames of the

NPHS and the new LFS design of the Main Component were combined

into one frame for the post-stratification, it was still necessary to determine

the respective contributions of the frame from the old LFS design and this

new combined frame.Multiplicative "beta" factors were calculated,

according to the same principle as for the "alpha" factors used in the

post-stratification, for each sample frame, province and child's age group.

For Québec, three "beta" factors were calculated for each of the three

sample frames by child's age group.

By multiplying all the correction factors for each frame by the original

weights of the children in responding households, the final weights were

obtained. These weights can be found on the microdata file under the

name AWTCW01.

GUIDE04
8.0  NLSCY Concepts and Definitions

There are many variables and concepts which are critical to the analysis of

the NLSCY data. In this section there is a brief discussion regarding the

types of analyses that are possible with the NLSCY data. This is followed

by a description of key variables which have been derived to explain the

living arrangements of the child and the socio-economic conditions under

which the child lives.

The content areas for each section of the various questionnaires used for

the first cycle of the NLSCY are presented in the next section.

8.1  Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Estimates

The NLSCY design and sample has been constructed so that it will be

possible to produce both cross-sectional and longitudinal estimates. For

now, with Cycle 1 data, only cross-sectional estimates are possible.

Longitudinal information will be available in all subsequent cycles starting

from the second cycle.

The allocation of the Cycle 1 sample was such that is will be possible to

produce estimates at the national level for the specific age cohorts and at

the provincial level for aggregated age groups. This is true for cross-sectional data as well as longitudinal data.

The longitudinal sample will be comprised of all children sampled for

Cycle 1 of the survey in responding households. The plan is to follow these

children over time every two years. Analyses of these children will permit

researchers the opportunity to perform in-depth studies of the long term

impact of risk factors (such as divorce or the onset of a health condition)

and protective factors (such as positive interactions with parents or

academic success at school) on these children as they move into

adulthood.If a child moves out of the household where he or she was

sampled at Cycle 1, that child will be traced to wherever he or she resides

at future cycles of the survey. From a longitudinal perspective, the child,

not the household, is the statistical unit of analysis.

It should be noted that some children who were participants in Cycle 1 of

the NLSCY may not participate in the second or subsequent cycles due to

a variety of reasons. This is usually referred to as attrition. The numbers of

these children will be carefully monitored and every effort will be made to

keep these numbers at a minimum. The Cycle 1 sample and its allocation

was designed with this in mind and as long as future response rates are

not lower than expected the sample will still permit longitudinal research by

age cohort at the national level.

In the second and subsequent cycles, it is intended that the NLSCY will

add children belonging to age groups no longer covered in the longitudinal

sample. For example, for Cycle 2 a panel of children 0 and 1 years of age

will be added to the Cycle 2 sample. This augmented sample will allow for

ongoing cross-sectional analyses to supplement the primary longitudinal

research. As such, at each cycle it will be possible to get a snap-shot of

Canadian children of all ages. At the present time, it is not planned that this

augmented component of the sample will be followed longitudinally.

It should be noted the children who immigrate to Canada at any point of

time after the Cycle 1 sample was selected and who are in the age cohorts

covered in the Cycle 1 sample, will not be included in either cross-sectional

or longitudinal estimates. Estimates of the number of children immigrating

to Canada will be monitored and a decision may be made in the future to

introduce a new sample into the NLSCY to cover these children.

8.2  NLSCY Units of Analyses

The unit of analysis for the NLSCY is intended to be the child and

eventually the young adult. For each cycle of the NLSCY, extensive

information will be gathered on the child's family, parent(s), and

neighbourhood.

It is true that families or households are relatively straightforward units of

analysis with cross-sectional data but the situation becomes quite

problematic with longitudinal data. Households change composition

frequently, due to divorce of parents, or children leaving the parental nest.

Attempts have been made in other studies to define "longitudinal

households" but the implementation of this concept has never been

straightforward. No single definition has been found to be appropriate for

most analytic tasks, and many definitions exclude the portion of the

population that has undergone the change. Unfortunately, this is often a

significant as well as interesting population to study. It has been suggested

that a superior alternative is to use the individual as the unit of analysis and

present family and household variables as a characteristic of the

individual.

Thus the file which has been constructed for this first release of NLSCY

data consists of child records. In order to understand the family situation,

estimates such as of the number of children in single parent families, or the

number of children living in low income households, can be produced.

8.3  PMK and Spouse

In each NLSCY household, one child 0 to 11 years of age was selected at

random and a question was asked about who in the household was the

person most knowledgeable about this child. This person was labelled as

the PMK. The intention was that the PMK would provide the information for

all selected children in the household and then give socio-demographic

information about herself and her spouse/partner. In some rare cases it

might have been appropriate to label two different people in a household as

PMKs. For example, in the case of a step family,it may have been

appropriate to label the mother as the PMK for one child and the father for

another. However, in order to simplify the interview procedures, only one

PMK was selected per household.

The following is the breakdown of the relationship of the PMK to the

NLSCY children for Cycle 1.

 -for 91.3% of responding children, the PMK was the mother

 (89.9% the biological mother and 1.4% the step, adoptive

 or foster mother)

 -for 8.2% of the children the PMK was the father

 -for 0.5% of children the PMK was not a parent.

When the PMK was not a parent, for the majority of cases the child had a

parent living in the household but the parent was not selected as the PMK.

For the most part this situation occurred when a child had a very young

mother living with her own parents i.e., the child's grandparents, and the

grandmother was selected as the PMK. Only 0.1% of the children did not

live with a parent.

If the PMK had a partner residing in the household at the time of the

interview, then this person was labelled as the spouse. Spouses included

both married and common-law partners. Detailed socio-economic

information was collected about the spouse/partner in order to describe the

family situation of the child.

The following is the breakdown of the relationship of the spouse/partner to

the NLSCY children.

-for 14.4% of the children, the PMK did not have a

spouse/partner residing in the household

-for 78.1% of children the spouse/partner was the father

(73.2% the biological father and 4.9% the step, adoptive or

foster father)

-for 7.2% of children the spouse/partner was the mother

(biological, step, adoptive or foster)

-for the remaining 0.3% of children, the spouse/partner was

not a parent.

8.4  Family Derived Variables

Using NLSCY data, a child's family may be described in several different

ways. Many of the family variables that have been used to describe the

NLSCY children were derived from what is known as the relationship grid.

As part of the household roster some basic demographic information was

collected for all members of the child's household. As part of this

questionnaire, the relationship of everyone in the household to everyone

else was asked. Using this information it was possible to create an

extensive set of variables to describe the child's family situation.

The following are some of the family derived variables for the child that

exist on this first microdata file for the NLSCY. The names of the derived

variable are given in brackets.

Single-parent family

There are two ways of describing the parental situation of

children using NLSCY data.

Using the relationship grid, a child's single-parent status was

derived. There were 84.2% of children living with two parents,

15.7% with one parent and 0.1% without a parent

(ADMCD04).

A child's parent status can also be defined in terms of the

PMK. There were 84.3% of the NLSCY children living in a

household where the PMK had a spouse/partner; and for

15.7% of children the PMK did not have a spouse/partner

(ADMPD06A).

The two ways of describing the child's family are very similar.

The only reason for the small differences is a result of the few

cases where the child lived with a parent, but the parent was

not selected to be the PMK.

Step, Blended and Intact Families

Children living with two parents are classified as being

members of intact, step and/or blended families based on the

relationship of these children to the parents.

Intact family

An intact family consists of a married or common-law

couple where all children are the natural and/or adopted

offspring of both members of the couple.

For the NLSCY children, 75.5% were a member of an intact

family (ADMCD16).

Step family

A step family consists of a married or common-law couple

residing in the same household, with at least one step child

living with them who is the biological or adopted child of

one parent but not the other parent. It should be noted that

a child who is the biological child of both parents is said to

belong to a step family if at least one of these parents has a

step child residing in the household.

For the NLSCY children, 4.6% were step children

themselves (ADMCD03) and 8.6% lived in a step family

(ADMCD15).

Blended family

Blended families combine children who have different

relationships with their parents. A blended family consists

of a married or common-law couple living with at least two

children, one of whom does not share the same natural

and/or adoptive parents as the other child(ren). The

following are examples of blended families:

 - a couple with biological children of the female

 partner as well as biological children of the male

 partner (i.e., hers and his)

 - a couple with biological children of the female

 partner as well as children out of the new union

 (i.e., hers and theirs).

 The blended family is a sub-set of the step family. For the

 NLSCY children, 6.1% were members of a blended family

 (ADMCD14).

Economic Family

For the NLSCY, an economic family is defined as all family

members related by blood, marriage, common-law relationship or

adoption; foster children are considered to be part of the economic

family. For example, if a woman lives in a household with her

spouse and two children as well as her sister and her sister's child

then all of these individuals would be part of one economic family. If

a boarder also resided in the household with her child then this

would constitute a second economic family.

Siblings

For the NLSCY data, siblings include full, half, step, adopted and

foster siblings. Only siblings residing in the household have been

included in the calculation of the sibling derived variables included

on the microdata file. In the case of common-law relationships, if

both members have brought their own children into the relationship

then these children are considered as siblings. It should be noted

that the classification of siblings was age independent. If an NLSCY

child had an adult sibling (for example, 21 years of age) living in the

household then this sibling was included in the calculation of the

sibling derived variables. The sibling derived variables include total

siblings, as well as number of older siblings, younger siblings and

siblings of exactly the same date of birth; i.e., twins (ADMCD08, 09,

10 and 11).

 8.5 Socio-Economic Derived Variables

There were two derived variables produced from Cycle 1 data to assist

analysts in understanding and explaining the socio-economic situation of

the child's family.

Socio-economic Status (AINHD08)

Sociologists often use the term "socio-economic status" (SES) to

refer to the relative position of a family or individual in an

hierarchical social structure, based on their access to, or control

over, wealth, prestige and power. In studies of children's academic

and social-emotional development, SES is often operationally

defined through measures describing the occupational prestige,

educational levels, and economic positions of children's parents.

For the first cycle of the NLSCY a measure of SES was derived for

each household in the sample and the result assigned to each

selected child in that household.It was derived from five sources:

the level of education of the PMK, the level of education of the

spouse/partner, the prestige of the PMK's occupation, the prestige

of the occupation of the spouse/partner, and household income.

The method of constructing each component of SES, and the

construction of the overall SES measure are described below.

Education - Years of School

The education variable used in the construction of SES was years

of schooling. Two such variables were derived independently; one

for the PMK and one for the spouse/partner (AEDPD04 for the PMK

and AEDSD04 for the Spouse/partner). For the PMK the years of

schooling variable was derived based on items AEDPQ01 (years of

elementary and high school) and AEDPQ04 (highest level of

education attained beyond high school). To create a somewhat

continuous interval-level education variable, these two items were

recoded to form years of schooling in the following manner:

AEDPD04	 Condition

00	 AEDPQ01=1	 (no schooling)

03	 AEDPQ01=2	 (1 to 5 years)

06	 AEDPQ01=3	 (6 years)

07	 AEDPQ01=4	 (7 years)

08	 AEDPQ01=5	 (8 years)

09	 AEDPQ01=6	 (9 years)

10	 AEDPQ01=7	 (10 years)

11	 AEDPQ01=8	 (11 years)

12	 AEDPQ01=9	 (12 years)

13	 AEDPQ01=10	 (13 years)

16	 AEDPQ04=6	 (BA/BSC)

18	 EDPQ04=7	 (Masters)

20	 AEDPQ04=8 or 9	 (MD/PHD)

An extra year was then added to AEDPD04 if the PMK had a

diploma from a trade school or community college (i.e., if

AESPDQ04= 4 or 5 then AEDPD04 = AEDPD04+1).

The same procedure was used to set up a years of schooling

variable for the spouse/partner (AEDSD04).

Occupational Prestige

Occupational status is an important indicator of SES. The

occupation variable used in the derivation of SES was a modified

version of a scale developed by Pineo, Porter and McRoberts

(1977). The classification system groups occupations described in

Statistics Canada's 1980 Standard Occupational Classification into

16 somewhat homogeneous categories, ordered from 1 to 16,

where code 1 represents the highest level of occupation and code

16 the lowest. The 16-category scale provides a ranking of

occupations according to their social standing or prestige. For the

NLSCY, for both the PMK and the spouse/partner, a detailed

description was taken of the job considered to be his or her main

job during the previous 12 months. The information was used to

code occupations into the 1980 classification, and in turn into the 16

prestige categories. For the purposes of deriving SES, the order of

the Pineo-Porter-McRoberts scale was reversed. The final scale

used in the derivation of SES had the following values:

01	Farm labourer

02	Unskilled manual

03	Unskilled clerical/sales/service

04	Semi-skilled manual

05	Semi-skilled clerical/sales

06	Farmer

07	Skilled crafts and trade

08	Skilled clerical/sales/service

09	Foreman/forewoman

10	Supervisor

11	Middle manager

12	Technician

13	Semi-professional

14	High-level management

15	Employed professional

16	Self-employed professional

96	Not-applicable -	(this was assigned for the spouse/partner for cases

where the PMK did not have a spouse/partner)

99	Not stated

This ordinal scale can be used to rank individuals into the various

occupation groups but one cannot assume that the intervals

between ranks are equal interval. For example, in this scale a

middle manager (code 11) is ranked higher than a supervisor (code

10), which in turn ranked higher than a foreman (code 09).

However, this does not imply that the difference in occupation

between the middle manager and a supervisor is equivalent to the

difference between a supervisor and a foreman. By assuming that

the underlying latent construct has a particular distribution, one can

assign intervals to the various categories. Mosteller and Tukey

(1977) propose a logit transformation to re-express ordinal data on

an interval scale. To do this, the percentage of individuals in each

occupation group is considered a piece of the logistic distribution.

The code assigned to each occupation is the centre of its piece in

the logistic distribution. This transformation was employed to scale

the 16 occupations.

For each occupation group x, the following values were computed:

p 	=	the percentage of individuals with an occupation less than

 occupation x (based on the Pineo-Porter-McRoberts category)

pp	=	the percentage of individuals with an occupation less than or

equal to occupation x (based on the Pineo-Porter-McRoberts

category)

phi(p)	=	p*In(p) + (1-p)*In (1-p)

phi(pp)	=	pp*In(pp) + (1-pp)*In(1-pp)

The recoded (logit) value for occupation x was assigned to be:

PINEOLOG	=	phi(pp) - phi(p)

pp-p

This variable, PINEOLOG (for both the PMK and spouse/partner)

was then used in the derivation of SES.

Household Income

The last variable used in the derivation of SES was household

income. More detail regarding the collection of household income

and data quality issues can be found in Section 9.17. To derive

SES, income was coded in $1,000s of dollars, and a few outliers

with incomes greater than $150,000 were recoded to $150,000.

Final Derivation of SES

Thus the five variables that were used to derive SES were:

-	AEDPD04 (years of schooling for the PMK),

-	AEDSD04 (years of schooling for the spouse/partner),

-	PINEOLOG-PMK (the pineo occupation code for the

PMK transformed to the logit distribution),

-	PINEOLOG-SP (the pineo occupation code for the

spouse/partner transformed to the logit distribution) and

-	HHINC (household income in thousands of dollars)

Each of the five variables were standardized to have a mean of

zero and a standard deviation of one. Missing values (i.e., not-stated values)

were ignored in the standardization. In the standardization of the

spouse/partner variables (AEDSD04 and PINEOLOG-SP), if the

PMK did not have a spouse/partner these records were ignored.

The SES composite was then calculated by taking the (unweighted)

average of the five standardized variables.

If one of the five variables had missing data due to non-response

(refusal, don't know, etc.) then the average was taken over the

remaining non-missing items. If there was no spouse/partner in the

household (i.e., the PMK had no spouse/partner) then the average

was taken over the three applicable variables (AEDPD04,

PINEOLOG-PMK, and HHINC). For two-parent families (i.e., for

cases where there was a PMK and a spouse/partner), if two or

more out of the five input variables were missing, then SES was set

to "not-stated" . For single-parent families (i.e., there was no

spouse/partner), if one or more out of the three input variables were

missing, then SES was set to "not-stated".

On the NLSCY microdata file SES is labelled AINHD08.

Examples of SES

On the microdata file, the value for SES ranges from -2.000 to

+1.750. The distribution of SES scores is as follows for children on

the file.

SES SCORE RANGE	% CHILDREN WITH

SCORE IN RANGE

1.5 or over	2.7%

1.0 to less than 1.5	6.5%

0.5 to less than 1	12.9%

0 to less than 0.5	22.7%

-0.5 to less than 0	27.7%

-1.0 to less than -0.5	16.3%

-1.5 to less than -1.0	7.3%

Less than -1.5	3.2%

Not-stated	0.7%

In order to give a flavour for the types of families associated with

various SES scores the following examples are given for illustration

purposes. It should be noted that the SES scores given in these

examples are approximate and do not correspond to actual records

on the NLSCY file. Many more examples are possible for each

score involving both one and two parent families.

SES SCORE	EXAMPLE

1.5	A family in which:

•both the PMK and spouse have a university degree

(BA/BSC)

•they are both employed professionals

•the household income is approximately $77,000

0.5	A family in which:

•the PMK has a university degree (BA/BSC) and the

spouse has grade 13

•the PMK is employed as a semi-professional and

the spouse is employed in a semi-skilled clerical

position

•household income is approximately $57,000

0.0	A family in which:

•the PMK has grade 13 and the spouse grade 12

•the spouse is employed as a semi-professional

position and the PMK is not in the labour force

•household income is approximately $25,000

-2.0	A family in which:

•there is no spouse

•the PMK has not completed high school

•the PMK is not in the labour force

•the household income is less than $10,000

Income Ratio (AINHD04 and 05)

NLSCY children can be classified as living in households of various

income levels. An income ratio has been derived and assigned to each

child record and can be used for analytical purposes to further

understand the economic situation of the child. The following is a

description of how this ratio was calculated.

Every year Statistics Canada establishes what are known as the low-income

cut-offs, which are derived by considering expenditure to income

patterns observed in the most recent Family Expenditure Survey. These

thresholds or values are calculated for different urban-size and family-size categories and are updated annually using the Consumer Price Index.

The cut-offs that were derived for 1994 were used to calculate the

NLSCY income ratio. The ratio was simply calculated to be the

household income divided by the cut-off value.

Two data quality issues should be raised regarding this income ratio.

One is that the cut-offs are based on economic family income. For the

NLSCY it was household income that was collected and not economic

family income. However in 98.5% of households in the sample the two

concepts were equivalent (i.e., there was only one economic family in

the household).

Secondly and more importantly, the number of children estimated to live

in households with incomes below the cut-off may be overestimated. For

the NLSCY household income was collected by asking a single question

whereby the PMK was asked to estimate total income from all sources

for all household members. The purpose was to get a general indicator

of household income. The following is a comparison of the number of

households estimated to have a household income below the cut-off by

the NLSCY as compared to the number of economic families estimated

to be below the cut-off by the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF). The

SCF is an annual survey conducted by Statistics Canada where detailed

income information is collected for all household members for all

sources.

COMPARISON OF INCOME RATIOS FOR THE NLSCY VS. THE SCF

COMPARISON OF 	COMPARISON OF

NLSCY 	 SCF

HOUSEHOLDS TO 	ECONOMIC FAMILIES

LOW INCOME	TO LOW INCOME

 CUT-OFFS	CUT-OFFS

% below cut-off	24.0	20.6

% over cut-off but less

than twice the cut-off	37.3	38.0

% twice the cut-off or

more	38.6	41.5

As can be seen in the table, the NLSCY estimates that more households

with children are under the cut-off as compared to SCF. In Section 9.17

further data quality issues regarding the income variables collected for the

NLSCY are discussed.

8.6  Geographical Indicators

The NLSCY sample was allocated so that provincial analyses will be

possible for broad age groupings of children. A variable to indicate

province of residence is available on the microdata file (AGEHD03). It was

necessary to suppress the province codes on some records on the

microdata file due to confidentiality concerns. This is discussed further in

Section 9.2.

Sub-provincial analyses may be possible for certain variables, but in order

to ensure confidentiality of respondents, sub-provincial indicators have not

been included on the microdata file. Census metropolitan area (CMA) is

available on the NLSCY master file (AGEHD02) as well as an indicator

urban/rural class size (AGEHD01).

User's interested in performing sub-provincial analyses or having the

province code available for all records can request custom tabulations or

make use of the remote data access service as discussed in Section 13.

9.0  Content and Validation of NLSCY Data

The NLSCY was designed to follow an ecological or holistic approach to

measuring child development. The survey captures the diversity and

dynamics of the factors affecting children. To ensure that all relevant topic

areas affecting child development were adequately addressed by the

survey, a multidisciplinary consultation was carried out at the inception of

the survey. The selection of specific subject areas, priorities and survey

questions was very much a group effort with input and advice from:

- the NLSCY expert advisory group which consists of researchers

 in the area of child development and the social sciences;

- federal departments;

- representatives from the provinces and territories responsible for

 child development programs.

It was recommended that the NLSCY cover a broad range of

characteristics and factors affecting child growth and development.

Extensive information was gathered about the child, as well information on

the child's parent(s), characteristics of the family and the neighbourhood.

This section provides an outline of the content for each section of the

questionnaire included in this first release of NLSCY data.

As part of the NLSCY processing system, there were some basic quality

checks performed for each section of the questionnaire. Any items for

which there was a high level of non-response or which were frequently

involved in edit failures were looked at in detail.Where appropriate,

comparisons were made to external data sources and analyses were

carried out to investigate possible reasons for differences from these other

sources. Any concerns about potential data quality problems for any items

in a particular section of the questionnaire are discussed in this section of

the documentation.

Statistics Canada has the obligation to ensure the confidentiality of all

surveyrespondents. As a result, it was necessary to suppress or alter

some variables on the microdata file. The suppressions made for each

section of the questionnaire are discussed here. Users interested in having

access to the unscreened data can request custom tabulations or make

use of the remote data access service as discussed in Section 13.

Before the section by section discussion of content and validation results,

the general validation procedures used for the "scale" data are presented.

9.1  Validation of Scale Data

For some of the concepts that were deemed to be important to measure in

the NLSCY it was decided that the concept would most appropriately be

measured through the use of a scale. A scale is simply a group of

questions or items that measure a certain concept when the answers to the

items are put together.

For example, on the child's questionnaire it was determined that it was

important to have an assessment of certain parenting behaviours. The

Parenting Scale that was employed was one that was proposed by Dr. M.

Boyle at Chedoke-McMaster Hospital, based on work by Dr. Ken Dodge

(Vanderbilt University) which was an adaptation of Strayhorn and

Weidman's Parent Practices Scale. The scale is intended to measure three

different constructs or factors related to parenting; positive interaction,

hostile/ineffective parenting and consistent parenting.

For each factor measured by a scale, a score is calculated. The score for a

particular factor can be used to give an ordering of individuals. For

example, for the Parenting Scale, for children with higher scores for the

"positive interaction" factor, the PMKreported having more positive

encounters with the child (e.g., laughed with them more, praised them

more etc.). The score for a particular factor is usually based on a series of

items, since one single item usually cannot measure the factor or construct

with adequate precision.

During the development of the NLSCY, when consideration was being

made of what specific scales should be used to measure a particular

concept, as much as possible, scales were selected that had been used in

other studies where the psychometric properties of the measures produced

by the scale were available with complete references.

However in many instances the wording of certain questions was modified

and in some cases new questions were added. Sometimes the scale that

was used had not previously been used for children in Canada or had only

been used for very small samples. Given these concerns and further

concerns regarding interviewing conditions, it was felt that the factorial

structures of the scales used in the NLSCY could be different from the

ones given in the literature. Therefore the project team felt the need to

carry out an extensive evaluation of the scale data to ensure that the

psychometric properties found to exist in other studies were also true for

the NLSCY experience.

There were three major steps in the analyses of the scale data. First a new

factor analysis was performed on all scales to determine the constructs or

factors inherent in each scale. Then scale scores were calculated based on

this factor structure. Finally reliability measures were produced. The

general procedures that were followed for each of these steps are

described in detail on the following pages.

The specific details for each scale are discussed later in this section in the

appropriate sub-section.

 9.1.1  Factor Analyses

The following is a summary of the procedures used in the factor analysis

for each scale.

1/	The sample of respondents for each scale (and age group, if

the scale used different questions for different groups), was

randomly divided into two half-samples. This was done to find

out whether different samples would yield the same results.

2/	Principal component analysis was carried out separately on

each half-sample to find out how many factors should be

extracted in the factor analysis performed subsequently. In

principle, the same number of factors as was found in the

literature was expected. In practice, however, some scales

showed a different number of factors because in some cases

factors combined while in others new factors emerged.

3/	Factor analysis was also done on each half-sample and the

factorial structure and loadings of each factor were compared

across the half-samples.

Factor analysis requires that the data have the property of interval or ratio

data, that is the distance between each answer category of the question

should be the same. For example, in scales where the answer choices are:

Never, Sometimes, Often, and Always, one must assume that the distance

between Never and Sometimes is the same as that between Sometimes

and Always in the respondent's perception. It was felt that this was not

necessarily the case for the scales used in the NLSCY.

Therefore before performing the factor analysis for each of the NLSCY

scales, the data were transformed using optimal scaling. The method used

was one proposed by Young and several associates (Young, 1981) which

is a variant of Fisher's optimal scaling technique. The method is presented

as a means of transforming data which are fundamentally nominal or

ordinal in nature to interval or ratio level data so that statistical techniques

which are appropriately applied only to interval and ratio data may be

utilized.

Initially the factor analysis for each scale to be included in this first release

of NLSCY data was carried out using unweighted data. At that point in time

the final weights had not yet been calculated. Once the weights were

available, work started on repeating the factor analyses using the weighted

data. (See Section 7 for a description of the weighting procedures). With

the weights, the same factor structure was not always observed.

At this point in time not all of the scale data included in this first release

have been re-analysed using the weights. Analyses for the Behaviour

Scale and the Parenting Scale on the Child's Questionnaire have been

completed using weighted data and scores computed (See Section 9.6 and

9.9 for details). For the Depression Scale, the Family Functioning Scale

and the Social Support Scale weights are not available since the unit of

analyses for these scales are at the PMK and household level. (The

Depression Scale refers to the PMK and the Family Functioning and Social

Support Scales refer to the family or household). Therefore the factor

structure for these scales was assessed using unweighted data and scores

have been computed and included on the microdata file. (See Sections

9.12, 9.13, and 9.14 for details).

 9.1.2  Calculation of Scores and Item Imputation

The results of the factor analyses were used to determine what items

 "loaded" into each factor (i.e., were a part of each factor). The next step

 was to calculate a score for each factor. This was done by summing the

 values for each individual item that made up the factor. In some cases

 some rescaling of values was done before the final score was calculated.

 The following example illustrates how factor scores were computed.

Example:

One of the constructs that emerged in the factor analysis for the

Parenting Scale on the Child's Questionnaire was the

hostile/ineffective parenting factor. In the factor analysis seven items

were found to load into this factor.

APRCQ04	How often do you get annoyed with your child for saying

or doing something he/she is not supposed to?

APRCQ08	Of all the times you talk to your child about his/her

behaviour, what proportion is praise?

APRCQ09	Of all the times you talk to your child about his/her

behaviour, what proportion is disapproval?

APRCQ13	How often do you get angry when you punish your

child?

APRCQ14	How often do you think the kind of punishment you

give your child depends on your mood?

APRCQ15	How often do you feel you have problems managing

your child in general?

APRCQ18	How often do you have to discipline your child

repeatedly for the same thing?

The answer categories for these items were of two types:

1 - never	1 - never

2 - about once a week or less	2 - less than half the time

3 - a few times a week	3 - about half the time

4 - one or two times a day	4 - more than half the time

5 - many times each day	5 - all the time

In the calculation of the score for this hostile/ineffective parenting

factor, the categories were rescaled to 0 to 4 (i.e.,the category

"never" was scored as 0, the category "about once a week or less/less

than half the time" was scored as 1, ... and the category "many times

each day/all the time" was scored as 4). In order to compute the score

these values were summed across the seven items involved in the

factor resulting in a hostile/ineffective parenting score in the range 0 to

28. A score of 0 represents the absence of a problem and a score of

28 is the highest possible score with respect to problems. For most of

the scores calculated for the NLSCY, a score of 0 represents the

absence of a problem. However there are exceptions to this which are

noted in the documentation for each particular scale.

Note that the second item that loaded into the hostile/ineffective

parenting factor, APRCQ08 (Of all the times you talk to your child

about his/her behaviour, what proportion is praise?) is in the opposite

direction compared to the other items. In fact the item loaded

"negatively" into the factor. Therefore when computing the score the

values for this item were reversed - all the time was scored as 0, more

than half the time as 1, ... and never as 4.

In the documentation for each scale any item that was reversed for the

scoring algorithm due to a negative loading is indicated.

The score for the hostile/ineffective parenting factor is labelled as

APRCS04 on the record layout for the microdata file. An "S" in the

5th position of the variable name indicates a score.

When the score was being calculated for each factor there was a possibility

that one or more of the items making up the score had a non-response

code (don't know, refusal or not-stated). If the number of items with a non-response code was above a certain threshold, the factor score was set to

not-stated. Generally this threshold value was set at 10% of the items. If

less than 10% of the items had a missing value then the items with non-response codes were imputed before the score was computed. The procedure used to impute

 these missing items is a routine available in SAS in the procedure called PRINQUAL. This procedure indicates, among valid item values, the one that seems the most

plausible for a given record. It considers the response profile of the record

with the missing item, the response profile of other responding records in the

sample as well as the number of factors considered in the analyses.

A flag was created for any item for which values have been imputed to

indicate the records for which imputation has taken place. These flags have

been included on the microdata file. The flag on the file which corresponds

to an item has the same name as the item itself except that the Q (question

indicator) in the variable name is replaced by I. For example some

imputation was carried out for APRCQ04 (How often do you get annoyed

with your child for saying or doing something he/she is not supposed to?).

The imputation flag for this item is labelled APRCI04.

It should be noted that in addition to the scores, the raw items for each

scale are included on the microdata file. This will permit researchers to

have the ability to consider alternate factor structures if desired. For the

raw items the original values (in the 1 to 5 range for the parenting scale)

have been retained before any rescaling or reversal of values took place.

For the scales included in this first release, which have not yet be analysed

using the weighted data, scores have not been included on the microdata

file. Scores for these scales will be included in the second release of data.

 9.1.3  Reliability Measures for Scales

Reliability refers to the accuracy, dependability, consistency or repeatability

 of score results. In more technical terms, reliability refers to the degree to

 which the scores are free of measurement errors. There are many ways to

 measure reliability.

One of the most commonly used reliability coefficients is Cronbach's

alpha (Cronbach, 1951).Alpha is a measure of the internal

consistency of the items within the factor. It is based on the average

covariance of items within the factor. It is assumed that items within a factor

are positively correlated with each other because they are attempting to

measure, to a certain extent, a common entity or construct.

Cronbach's alpha has several interpretations. It can be viewed as the

correlation between this scale or factor and all other possible scales

containing the same number of items, which could be constructed from a

hypothetical universe of items that measure the characteristic of interest. In

the hostile/ineffective parenting factor, for example, the seven questions

actually used for inclusion on the scale can be viewed as a sample from

the universe of many possible items. Parents could also have been asked:

"How often do you raise your voice when you discipline your child?" or

"How often do you threaten punishment more often than you use it?"

Cronbach's alpha tells how much correlation can be expected between the

scale which was used and all other possible seven-item scales measuring

the same thing.

Another interpretation of Cronbach's alpha is the squared correlation between

the score an individual obtains on a particular factor (the observed score)

and the score he/she would have obtained if questioned on all possible

items in the universe (the true score). Since alpha can be interpreted as a

correlation coefficient, it ranges from 0 to 1.

It has been shown that in general, alpha is a lower bound to the reliability of a

scale of n items (Novick and Lewis, 1967). In other words in most

situations, alpha provides a conservative estimate of a score's reliability.

What is a satisfactory level of reliability? It is difficult to specify a single

level that should apply in all situations. Some researchers believe that

reliabilities should not be below 0.8 for widely used scales. At that level,

correlations are affected very little by random measurement error. At the

same time, it is often very costly in terms of time and money to obtain a

higher reliability coefficient. It should be noted that for some of the factors

for which scores were computed for the NLSCY, the reliability are below

this level. The Cronbach alpha is given in the documentation for each score

which has been calculated. Researchers can determine for themselves

whether or not the score has adequate reliability for their specific purposes.

Finally it should be mentioned that for the NLSCY the Cronbach alpha for each

factor score was computed using SAS. Typically the coefficients

calculated using SAS are lower than those calculated using SPSS.

9.2  Demographic Variables

The demographic variables discussed in this section refer to variables

collected on the household roster. As part of the household roster some

basic demographic information (e.g., age, gender, marital status) was

collected for all members of the child's household. The relationship grid

was also completed as part of this questionnaire i.e., the relationship of

everyone in the household to everyone else. Using this information it was

possible to create an extensive set of variables to describe the child's

family situation. Most of these derived variables are critical to the analyses

of NLSCY data and are described in Section 8 (NLSCY Concepts and

Definitions).

If was necessary to perform an extensive series of edits on the data that

were collected as part of the relationship grid. There were some edits that

were carried out as part of the CAI system during collection. However in

the data that were received at Head Office there were still inconsistencies.

The following are some examples of the types of editing that was carried

out.

• in all relationships reported, a person could not have more than

 two parents

• the difference in age between a husband and wife had to be less

 than 29 years.

In total there were over 30 relationship edits performed. Some of the edits

were what is known as "soft" edits and some were "hard".The first

example was a hard edit and the second a soft edit. For all edit failures, the

records for the entire household were reviewed manually for obvious

mistakes. A correction had to be made for the hard edit failures. For the

soft edit failures a correction was made if it was deemed appropriate to do

so.

As well there were edits carried out comparing the relationship grid to

information collected in the Custody Section. (Variables in the Custody

Section will be part if the second release of data). For the most part, in the

case of discrepancies, priority was placed on the custody information,

since this was collected from the PMK and the information was more

detailed. The roster was completed by a knowledgeable household

member, not necessarily a parent.

The major source of error for relationship data had to do with step children.

There were several cases where a female parent was living with a

biological child and a spouse or common-law partner. The relationship of

the male partner to the child was coded as "unrelated". For questionnaires

completed in French this relationship was often coded as "in-law". In the

edit, the relationship code was changed to step child for these cases. As a

result of the relationship edits the number of children in a step families

increased by close to 40% .

Due to confidentiality concerns it was necessary to suppress some of the

demographic variables on the microdata file.

•	Detailed age in years for the child has been included, i.e., age

for up to four children in the household. As a result of including

detailed age, it was necessary to suppress collection date.

Collection for the NLSCY took place over an eight month

period. By suppressing collection date this casts some doubt on

the exact ages of the children.

•	For the PMK it was only possible to have age in ranges (15 to

24, 25 to 29, 30 to 34, 35 to 39, and 40+). Age for the

spouse/partner has been suppressed entirely. For male PMKs

not living with a spouse/partner age group has been set to not-stated.

For female PMKs not living with a spouse/partner age group has

been set to not-stated for some cases. In total age group of the PMK

was set to not-stated for 486 children on the microdata file.

•	There were six sets of triplets on the file. For these cases the

age of one of the trio has been altered by one.

•	There were 27 children on the file who did not live with a

parent. The province for all children in these households has

been set to not-stated.

•	Cases where the PMK was male and there was no

spouse/partner caused some concerns with respect to

confidentiality. For these cases age group, highest level of

education, main source of household income and the province

code have all been set to not-stated. There were 165

households and 255 children on the file in this category.

•	Cases where the PMK was female and there was no

spouse/partner also caused some concern, although not as

severe as it was for males. For some of these records the age

group of the PMK has been set to not-stated.

It should be noted that the variable "marital status" has not been included

on this first release. It was determined that it was important to edit this

variable against information in the Custody Section which will only be part

of the second release.

9.3  Medical/Biological

The Medical /Biological Section was completed for children in the 0 to 3

age group. The major objective was to collect information on factors such

as gestational age and birth weight. These factors have been shown to

have a direct impact on a child's growth and development.For example, in

the long term, underweight babies face higher risks of poor health as well

as longer-lasting developmental difficulties.

For each child under two, the nature of the delivery, general health of the

child at birth and the use of specialized services following the birth were

collected in this section.The NLSCY also investigated the biological

mother's pregnancy and delivery history, including policy-relevant topics

such as the mother's breast-feeding experiences and prenatal lifestyle.

Since birth weight is such an important variable, caution was taking in

editing this variable. The records for children with very low birth weights

(< 1.5 kilograms) were examined to verify that the response was legitimate.

Other variables considered in the edit were the length of the baby at birth,

the number of days early of the delivery, the conditions of the delivery (e.g.,

multiple birth and special medical care) and the health of the child at birth.

If there was nothing to collaborate the low birth weight it was set to not-stated.

On the microdata file it was necessary to cap birth weight at the lower end

at 1.499 kilograms and less for confidentiality reasons. As well, for multiple

births the variable was capped at the upper end at two or more (i.e., twins).

There were a couple of derived variables created for this section that bear

note. Two variables were derived to indicate the gestational age of the

child. AMDCD06 gives the gestational age in days and AMDCD07

indicates if the child was born prematurely (gestational age 258 days or

less), in the normal range (gestational age 259 to 293 days) or late

(gestational age 294 days or later). For children in the 0 to 3 age group

9.7% were born early, 89.0% were born in the normal range and 1.2%

were born late.

A variable was derived (AMDCD08) to indicate if the child was of normal

birth weight (>2500 grams), moderately low birth weight (1500 to 2499

grams) or very low birth weight (< 1500 grams). For children in the 0 to 3

age group 94.3% were of normal birth weight, 4.9% were of moderately low

birth weight and 0.8% were of very low birth weight.

These estimates of premature babies and low birth weight babies are in

line with what is found in the literature.

9.4  Temperament Scale

Introduction

Temperament scales are used to measure the temperament of young

children (up to and including the age of three) based on the parents'

answers to questions about the degree of difficulty their child presents for

them.This measure is founded on the assumption that a child's

temperament is not solely dependent on biological factors, but is also

influenced by the parents' perception of the difficulty of the child.

The temperament scale used in the NLSCY for children 3 to 5 months old

was developed by Dr. John Bates of the University of Indiana.This well-established

scale, originally known as the Infant Characteristics Questionnaire (ICQ),

has been used in large-scale studies and is considered by specialists to

be the best available measure for use in household surveys.

The ICQ has been adapted for use in other surveys covering different age

groups: 6 to 11 months, 12 to 23 months and two-year-olds.A revised

version of the scale, devised by Dr. Jo-Anne Finegan at Toronto's Hospital

for Sick Children, is used for three-year-olds.

For children aged 3 to 5 months, the scale made up of questions

ATMCQ01 to ATMCQ12, ATMCQ14 to ATMCQ20, ATMCQ23 and

ATMCQ33 is intended to measure the extent to which the child is fussy,

unadaptable, unpredictable and dull.  For children 6 to 11 months old, the

foregoing list was expanded to include ATMCQ13 and ATMCQ24 to

ATMCQ27.The expanded list of questions measures the same four

aspects of temperament as for children 3 to 5 months old.

For children between 1 and 3 years-old, questions ATMCQ1 to ATMCQ15

and ATMCQ17 to ATMCQ33 should theoretically measure the degree to

which the child is difficult, irregular, unadaptable, affectively negative and

persistent/unstoppable.

The respondent, in most cases a parent, is required to answer each

question in the scale by assigning a rating between 1 and 7.For all

questions except ATMCQ14, a 1 means that the child has a favourable

response or usually exhibits the specified behaviour, while a 7 indicates

that the child reacts negatively or seldom displays the behaviour in

question.If the child is in the middle, a 4 is assigned.In question

ATMCQ14, the meanings of the ratings are reversed.

Results

Analysis of this scale with weighted data could not be performed in time to

be included in this version of the file.It will be completed following this

initial release and will be included in the second release scheduled for

1997.

9.5  Education (Child)

The objective of this section was to get some basic information about the

child's educational experiences.

The amount and type of information collected varied depending upon the

age of the child, with more information being collected for the older children

who have had greater school experience.

Basic information was collected for all age groups, such as: the child's

grade level, type of school and language of instruction, whether the child

looks forward to school, behaviour problems at school, absenteeism,

parental hopes for the child's educational outcomes, number of school

changes and residential moves.

For children in grade 1 or higher, additional questions were asked

concerning other aspects such as skipping and repeating grades,

achievement, special education, parents' perception of school climate and

importance of good grades to parents.

The Teacher's Questionnaire which will be included in the second release

of NLSCY data next year will provide additional information about the child

and his/her school achievement and behaviour.

At the data collection stage, six different questions were asked to

determine the child's grade. This was because of the different ways of

classifying grade for each province. At the processing stage, these six

questions were collapsed into one variable. On the record layout an

indication is given as to what the code means for each province. For

example, if the grade code (AEDCD01) is 10, this refers to secondary 1 for

Québec and grade 7 for all other provinces. A similar procedure was

carried out for grade skipped (AEDCD02) and grade repeated (AEDCD03).

The child's grade was also collected on the Teacher's Questionnaire and

on the Math Test administered by the teacher. There was not always

consistency across the three data collection units on what the correct

grade was. In the edit, priority was placed on what the teacher said in the

case of discrepancies.

On the microdata file the variables on language of instruction (AEDCQ12A)

and type of school (AEDCQ08) were set to not-stated in some cases

because of confidentiality concerns. Only a very small number of records

were affected (the variables for 34 children).

In the Education Section, there was one question (AEDCQ13) which asked

the number of days the child had missed since the beginning of the school

year. The answer to this question obviously depends on the collection date

which has not been included on the microdata file because of

confidentiality concerns. Therefore this variable has been suppressed and

a derived variable was created (AEDCD04) to indicate the percent of days

missed since the beginning of the school year.

9.6  Behaviour Scale

The objective of the behaviour scale is to assess aspects of the behaviour

of children two years of age and over.

For Cycle 1 of the NLSCY, an attempt was made to measure the following

behaviours for children aged 2 and 3:

 • hyperactivity,

 • emotional disorder,

 • anxiety,

 • physical aggression,

 • inattention,

 • prosocial behaviour,

 • separation anxiety and

 • opposition.

For children between 4 and 11 years of age, an attempt was made to

measure similar behaviours; separation anxiety and opposition were

omitted, and indirect aggression and some aspects of conduct disorder

were added.

The following indicates the items that were included on the questionnaire to

measure these various constructs of behaviour. As discussed in Section

9.1, a complete factor analysis was carried out for the behaviour scale to

assess the psychometric properties of this scale for the NLSCY population.

As part of this analyses the items that loaded into each construct or factor

were compared to the expected result described below. The results of this

analysis are presented later on in this section.

Analysis of the NLSCY Data

To conduct the analysis on the behaviour scale for the NLSCY data, a

factor analysis was conducted on the scale for the 2 to 3 age group and the

4 to 11 age group separately. New factor structures emerged which are

described in the "Results" Section below.

In the factor analysis, the items for each child in the appropriate age group

were used, multiplied by the child's normalized weight.An individual's

statistical weight is normalized by dividing his/her weight (AWTCW01) by

the average weight for all individuals.Thus, the sum of the normalized

weights is equal to the sample size.

Once the factor structures were analysed and the items included in each

factor were determined, scores were calculated. To produce the scores, 1

was subtracted from each item so that the lowest possible score would be

0.A score of 0 indicates that the child has no problems for all factors in the

behaviour scale except for the Prosocial factor, where a score of 0

indicates the absence of prosocial behaviour.Some items were imputed.

The imputed values were computed by a procedure (the SAS PRINQUAL

procedure) that determines which of the possible values for an item is the

most plausible for an individual in view of his/her response profile, the

response profiles of others in the sample, and the number of factors

included in the analysis.

The score for each factor on the scale was arrived at by totalling the values

of the items that made up that factor (including imputed values).The score

was set to "missing" if too many of the values of an items included in the

factor were unreported.A value may be missing if the parent refused to

answer or did not know the answer to the item.

Results

Two and three year-olds:

There were 3,909 two and three year-olds in the sample.The group was

split into two sub-samples of 1,932 and 1,977 individuals, and the analysis

for this age group was performed separately for each sub-sample.The

non-response rate for most items was about 2.2%.Some individuals were

excluded from the analysis that produced the factors.The exclusion

criteria were as follows: individuals with eight or more items coded

"missing", individuals with one or more refusals, individuals with two or

more missing items under hyperactivity and emotional disorder, and

individuals with one or more missing items for the other theoretical factors.

After the criteria were applied, there were 1,742 and 1,773 individuals left

in the sub-samples to be analysed.Data were imputed for only 12 items.

The number of imputations ranged between 1 and 8 for those 12 items.A

total of 34 values were imputed.

The factor analysis derived five factors for this age group: hyperactivity-inattention

(ABECS01), prosocial behaviour (ABECS02), emotional disorder-anxiety

(ABECS03), physical aggression-opposition (ABECS04) and separation anxiety

(ABECS05).The items making up each factor are listed in the table below.

6Z1, 6NN

Separation anxiety 	ABECS05	ABECQ6CC, 6DD1, 6PP1, 6LL1,

6TT1

Cronbach's alpha (raw value) was computed with SAS using normalized

weighted data (in general, Cronbach's alphas computed by SAS are lower

than those produced by SPSS).For hyperactivity-inattention (ABECS01),

Cronbach's alpha was 0.798.The item that had the greatest effect on this

factor was ABECQ6P; removing it lowers Cronbach's alpha to 0.762.The

table below shows the Cronbach's alpha for each factor, first including all

items, then excluding the item having the greatest effect.

Once the factors were identified, the next step was to compute the scores

for each factor.The scores for ABECS01, ABECS02, ABECS03,

ABECS04 and ABECS05 could not be calculated for 123, 393, 108, 159

and 99 individuals respectively because of unreported values for the items

included in the factors.

Children aged 4 to 11:

There were 14,226 children in the 4 to 11 age group.Two sub-samples of

7,073 and 7,153 were created for analysis.The item non-response rate

was approximately 2.1% for most of the 47 items involved in the analysis.

Individuals were excluded from the analysis on the basis of the following

criteria:individuals with eight or more items coded "missing"; individuals

with one or more refusals; individuals with two or more missing items under

prosocial behaviour, conduct disorder, hyperactivity, anxiety and emotional

disorder; and individuals with one or more missing items for the other

factors.After the criteria were applied, 6,620 and 6,683 individuals

remained in the sub-samples to be analysed.Data were imputed for 26

items.The number of imputations ranged between 1 and 159 for those 26

items.A total of 363 values were imputed.

Six factors were identified for this age group: hyperactivity-inattention

(ABECS06), prosocial behaviour (ABECS07), emotional disorder-anxiety

(ABECS08), physical aggression-conduct disorder (ABECS09), indirect

aggression (ABECS10) and a new factor, property offence (ABECS11).

The items making up each factor are listed in the table below.

The scores for these factors could not be computed in 338, 647, 324, 358,

814 and 310 cases respectively because of unreported values.

9.7  Motor and Social Development

The Motor and Social Development Section of the Child's Questionnaire

was completed for children in the 0 to 3 age group. The objective was to

measure motor, social and cognitive development of young children. A

scale was used to assess these concepts (AMSCQ01 to AMSCQ48).

The Motor and Social Development (MSD) Scale was developed by Dr.

Gail Poe of the U.S. National Centre for Health Statistics. The MSD scale

consists of a set of 15 questions that measure dimensions of the motor,

social and cognitive development of young children from birth through 3

years; the questions vary by age of the child.Each item asks whether or

not a child is able to perform a specific task. The scale has been used in

collections of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in the United

States and in recent versions of the National Child Development Survey in

England.

A score was calculated for each child by summing the number of "yes"

answers to each item in the scale (AMSCS01). Although there were

different sets of questions depending on the age in months of the child,

differences were observed when comparing score within these age bands.

For example, there was a specific set of questions for children 4 to 6

months old. It was found that children who were 6 months old had scores

that were on average higher than those 4 months old. Therefore a decision

was made to produce standardized scores.Each child was assigned a

standard score so that the mean MSD score was 100 and the standard

deviation was 15 for all age groupings. This standardization was done by 1

month age groups. Therefore children who are 0 months old will have an

average MSD score or 100, children who are 1 month old will have an

average MSD score of 100, ..., children 47 months old will have an average

MSD score of 100. Using this standard score (AMSCS02) it will be possible

to compare the MSD scores of children across the 0 to 3 age group, not

controlling for age.

9.8  Relationships

The Relationships Section of the Child's Questionnaire was completed for

all children 4 years of age and older. The objective was to provide

information about the child's relationships with others.Positive

relationships with other children and adults may help to counteract other

factors which place a child at risk.

The section collects information about how the child gets along with

parents, brothers and/or sisters, teachers, friends, and classmates, with

some variation by age of the child.Parents' knowledge of the names of the

friends of 8 to 9 and 10 to 11 year olds is also investigated, along with their

perception of these other children's behaviour, and whether their own child

is shy or outgoing.

The questions on number of days spent doing things with friends, number

of friends, and getting along with friends, parents, teachers and siblings

(ARLCQ01, Q02, Q06-Q09) are based on those in the Ontario Child Health

Study.

9.9  Parenting Scale

The objective of the parenting scale is to measure certain parental

behaviours. Specifically, two scales were used; one was designed to

measure positive interaction, hostile/ineffective parenting and consistent

parenting, and a second scale to measure aversive and non-aversive

parental management techniques.

The following indicates the items that were included on the questionnaire to

measure these various constructs of parenting. As discussed in Section

9.1, complete factor analyses were carried out for the parenting scales to

assess the psychometric properties of these scales for the NLSCY

population. As part of these analyses the new factor structures of each

construct or factor were compared to what has been found in the past in

the literature. The results of these analyses are presented later on in this

section.

Questionnaire Items:

For 0 to 11 year-olds:

Questions APRCQ1 to APRCQ18 on positive interaction, hostile/ineffective

parenting and consistent parenting were provided by Dr. M. Boyle at

Chedoke-McMaster Hospital, based on Dr. Ken Dodge's work (Vanderbilt

University) and an adaptation of Strayhorn and Weidman's Parent

Practices Scale. (For children 0 to 23 months old only APRCQ1 to Q7 were

asked.)

For children 2 to 11 years of age:

Questions APRCQ19 to APRCQ25, which measure aversive and non-aversive parent

management techniques, were provided by Dr. M. Boyle.

Analysis of the NLSCY Data

To conduct the analysis on the parenting scales for the NLSCY data, a

factor analysis was conducted on the first scale for the 0 to 23 month age

group and for the two scales for the 2 to 11 age group separately. New

factor structures emerged which are described in the "Results" Section

below.

In the factor analysis, the items for each child in the appropriate age group

were used, multiplied by the child's normalized weight.An individual's

statistical weight is normalized by dividing his/her weight (AWTCW01) by

the average weight for all individuals.Thus, the sum of the normalized

weights is equal to the sample size.

Once the factor structures were analysed and the items included in each

factor were determined, scores were calculated. To produce the scores, 1

was subtracted from each item so that the lowest possible score would be

0. A score of 0 indicates the following for the four factors that were found to

exist in the parenting scales:

 •	a lack of positive interactions for the positive interaction factor

 •	a lack of hostile/ineffective interaction for the hostile/ineffective

parenting factor

 •	a lack of consistency in interactions for the consistency factor

 •	a lack of punitive/aversive interactions for the aversive factor

Some items were imputed.The imputed values were computed by a

procedure (within the SAS PRINQUAL procedure) that determines which of

the possible values foran item is the most plausible for an individual in

view of his/her response profile, the response profiles of others in the

sample, and the number of factors included in the analysis.

The score for each factor on the scale was arrived at by totalling the values

of the items that made up that factor (including imputed values).The score

was set to "missing" if too many of the values of an item included in the

factor were unreported.A value may be missing if the parent refused to

answer or did not know the answer to the item.

Results

For children 0 to 23 months of age:

In the sample there were 4,696 children in the age group 0 to 23 months.

They were divided into two sub-samples of size 2,311 and 2,385, and

analyses were done on each sub-sample.The non-response rates for the

seven items ranged between 1.9% and 2.5%.Some individuals, namely

those with one or more items missing, were excluded from the analysis

conducted for the purpose of constructing the factors.After these

exclusions, the sub-samples contained 2,245 and 2,307 individuals

respectively, for analyses purposes.No imputation took place.As a result

of factor analysis, two factors were identified for this age group: the positive

interaction factor (APRCS01) and the hostile/ineffective parenting factor

(APRCS02).The items that comprise each factor are described in the

following table.

PARENTING SCALE FOR CHILDREN 0 to 23 MONTHS OLD

FACTOR	SCORE	ITEMS

Positive interaction	APRCS01	APRCQ1, 2, 3, 6, 7

Hostile/Ineffective	APRCS02	APRCQ4, 5

Cronbach's alpha coefficients (raw values) were calculated with SAS, using

the normalized weighted data (in general, Cronbach's alphas calculated

with SAS are lower than those produced by the SPSS software package).

For the positive interaction factor (APRCS01), the Cronbach's alpha is

0.727.The item that affects the factor the most is APRCQ7.If it were

removed from the analysis, the Cronbach's alpha would drop to 0.656.For

the hostile/ineffective factor (APRCS02), the Cronbach's alpha is 0.394 (it

should be noted only two items make up this factor, and therefore the alpha

cannot be calculated if one of the two items is removed).Once the factors

were determined, the next step was to calculate the scores for each of the

two factors.For the positive interaction factor, scores could not be

calculated for 132 individuals, while for the hostile/ineffective factor, scores

could not be calculated for 124 individuals, due to missing values for the

items comprising these factors.

For children 2 to 11 years of age:

The number of children in the 2 to 11 age group is 18,135.Two sub-samples of

9,090 and 9,045 were created for analysis purposes.The non-response rate per

item ranged between 2.1% and 2.7% for the 18 items included in the analysis

Individuals with two or more items coded missing for the positive interaction and

hostile/ineffective factors were excluded from the analysis.In addition, individuals

with a single missing item for the consistency factor were also excluded from the

analysis. After these exclusions, 8,815 and 8,772 individuals respectively were

retained for analysis purposes.The data in these samples were imputed for 12 items.

For these 12 items, the number of imputations varied between 1 and 16.In

all, 91 values were imputed.Three factors were identified for this age group:

the positive interaction factor (APRCS03), the hostile/ineffective

factor (APRCS04) and the consistency factor (APRCS05).The items that

comprise each factor are described in the following table.

The Cronbach's alphas for these factors are described in the following

For each of these factors, the scores could not be calculated for

respectively 408, 482 and 534 individuals due to missing values.

For children 2 to 11 years of age - scale on parent management

techniques:

The number of children in the 2 to 11 age group is 18,135. Two sub-samples

of 9,090 and 9,045 were created for analysis purposes.The non-response rate

per item was in the range of 2.5% for the seven items included in the analysis

Individuals with one or more items coded missing for one of the seven items were excluded from the analysis.

After these exclusions, 8,848 and 8,801 individuals respectively, were retained for

analysis purposes. No imputation took place.

One factor was identified for this age group: the aversive factor

(APRCS06). The items that comprise this factor are APRCQ21, 22, 23 and

24. Items 21 and 23 were reversed when calculating the score.Items

APRCQ19, 20 and 25 did not present loadings high enough to be included

in the factor.

The Cronbach's alpha for this factor is 0.569.The item that contributes the

most to lowering the Cronbach's alpha if it is removed from the analysis is

APRCQ22. The value that the alpha would take on if this item were

removed is 0.377 (normalized weighted data were used for these

calculations).

For this factor, the score could not be calculated for 478 individuals, due to

missing values.

9.10  Child Care

The objective of the Child Care Section was to provide basic information

about the methods of care used for the child while the parents worked or

studied, as well as some information on previous care.Concepts

measured included both the amount of time spent by the child in child care

and the methods of care used for each child.In addition, information was

obtained on the number of changes in child care arrangements that the

child had experiencedin the past 12 months and the reason(s) for

changes.The section also identified whether or not a child care centre was

profit or non-profit and whether home care was licensed or unlicensed.

A comparison was made of the data collected in this section of the

questionnaire to data from the National Child Care Survey (NCCS) which

was conducted in 1988 by Statistics Canada. The estimates that were

compared are:

•	the percentage of children in the various types of care

arrangements and

•	the average number of hours per week spent in the care

arrangement by children who had used it.

The target population for the NCCS included children 0 to 12 years of age.

In order to ensure consistency for the comparison, children in the 0 to 11

age range were extracted from the NCCS and estimates were made on this

sub-population. The NCCS asked about care arrangements used for any

purpose. Again in order to ensure comparability of estimates, only care

arrangements where the main activity of the parent was working or

studying were included in the NCCS estimates. The table below shows the

results of the comparison.

COMPARISON OF CHILD CARE ESTIMATES

 NLSCY vs. NCCS

CARE METHOD	% OF CHILDREN	AVERAGE

USING CARE	NUMBER OF

METHOD	HOURS USED IN

ONE WEEK

Someone else's home by a

relative	6.4% 	6.5% 	16.5 	18.4

Own home by brother or

sister	1.7% 	5.1% 	6.3 	7.1

Own home by other relative	4.8% 	5.1% 	16.0 	19.7

Own home by non-relative	6.9% 	5.4% 	17.5 	18.1

Daycare centre	5.5% 	3.8% 	24.3 	31.1

Before or after school

program	2.7% 	1.6% 	10.2 	12.0

Own care	0.4% 	5.2% 	3.9 	5.9

Other arrangement	2.4% 	   --	10.1 	  --

The NCCS was conducted approximately seven years earlier than the

NLSCY. Therefore it would be expected that changes in the child care field

may have taken place in the intervening years. For example, the fact that

the NLSCY estimates that more children are being cared for in a daycare

centre is not a surprising one. As well, use of before and after school

programs has increased, due to the fact that this type of care is now more

readily available.

However one area where the estimates do not compare well which is of

concern is the percentage of children reported to be in their own care. For

the NCCS 5.2% of children were estimated to be in their own care while the

parent worked or studied. For the NLSCY the estimate is only 0.4%. While

some changes may have taken place over time and parents may now be

more reluctant to leave children on their own, it is believed that the NLSCY

underestimates the number of children who were in their own care due to a

problem on the questionnaire.

On the NLSCY questionnaire, the Child Care Section started out with a

filter question:

Do you currently use child care such as daycare or babysitting

while you (and your spouse/partner) are at work or studying?

If the answer was 'yes' to this opening filter question, the interviewer

continued on with a set of detailed questions to determine the specific

types(s) of care arrangements used; one of these types being the child was

in his/her own care. If the answer was 'no' to the filter question these

subsequent questions were skipped.

The problem is that if the child was in his or her own care it is likely that the

parent would answer 'no' to the filter question and therefore the question on

self care would have been skipped.

It may be that the same problem exists for "care in own home by brother or

sister".The NCCS estimated that 5.1% of children were cared for by an

older brother or sister. For the NLSCY the estimate is 1.7%. Again the

problem could be that the parent said 'no' to the initial filter question and

therefore the question on sibling care was not asked.

Changes have been made to the questionnaire for Cycle 2 to avoid this

problem. The question on self care and care by an older sibling will be

asked even if the answer to the filter question is 'no'.

For the Child Care Section there was a series of derived variables created

to explain the Primary Care Arrangement used to allow the PMK (and

spouse/partner) to work or study. This primary care arrangement was

derived by looking at all of the care methods used for the child and

selecting the one for which the number of hours used was the greatest.

There were also some derived variables created to link the use of child

care to the work arrangements of the parents. For example there is a

derived variable to indicate if child care was used if one of the PMK or

spouse/partner currently worked full-time and the other part-time.

Further details regarding these derived variables can be found on the

record layout for the Child Care Section. These variables are labelled

ACRCD01 to ACRCD10. (CR indicates the Child Care Section and D a

derived variable.)

9.11  Socio-demographic Characteristics

The objective of the Socio-demographic Section was to gather information

on immigration, ethnic background and the language profile of household

members.This will allow analysis for various components of the Canadian

population and will permit identification of visible minorities.

As well, there were questions on religious affiliation and frequency of

attendance at religious services.Religion, particularly frequency of

attendance, is acknowledged as having a positive influence on a child's

development.

It was necessary to suppress many of the variables in this section on the

microdata file due to confidentiality concerns. The questions on country of

birth, ethnicity and religion have all been suppressed while frequency of

attendance at religious services has been included.

The questions on mother tongue and language of conversation are

included on the microdata file but only with aggregated answer categories:

•	English only

•	French only

•	English and French only

•	at least one "other" language indicated.

The aggregated variables for language of conversation are labelled

ASDPD05B, ASDSD05B, and ASDCD05B, for the PMK, Spouse/partner

and Child on the microdata file. The mother tongue variables are

ASDPD06B, ASDSD06B and ASDCD06B.

For the immigrant population, a derived variable was created to indicate

number of years since first immigrating to Canada. It was possible to put a

grouped version of this derived variable on the microdata file (ASDPD02B,

ASDSD02B, ASDCD02B).

A variable will be created to permit the identification of visible minorities.

This variable is based on country of birth, ethnicity and mother tongue. This

variable has not yet been derived and will only be available for the second

release next year.

Since there are many variables in this section which have been

suppressed for the microdata file, researchers who are particularly

interested in conducting analyses on socio-demographic variables are

encouraged to consider making use of the remote access service

described in Section 13.3.

9.12  Depression Scale

Introduction

The Depression scale was administered to the PMK as part of the Parent

Questionnaire. Questions for this scale (ADPPQ12A to ADPPQ12L) are a

shorter version of the depression rating scale (CES-D), comprising 20

questions, developed by L. S. Radloff of the Epidemiology Study Centre of

the National Institute of Mental Health in the United States. This rating

scale is used to measure the frequency of symptoms in the public at large.

The occurrence and severity of symptoms associated with depression

during the previous week are measured. The rating scale was reduced to

12 questions by Dr. M. Boyle of the Chedoke-McMaster Hospital of

McMaster University.

This rating scale is aimed at gathering information about the mental health

of respondents, with particular emphasis on symptoms of depression.

Several members of the NLSCY advisory group of experts pointed out that

the best way of proceeding was to measure one particular aspect of the

PMK's mental health instead of trying to measure overall mental health. It

was proposed that this section focus on depression for the following

reasons: depression is a prevalent condition; it has been demonstrated that

depression in a parent affects the children; present research on this subject

is generally based on demonstration groups and not on population

samples; and it is felt that introducing policies in this area could make a

difference.

The depression rating scale includes twelve questions, each of which

contains four response categories. In order that the lowest score value be

0, the value for each question was reduced by 1 in calculating the score.

As well, the answer categories were reversed for questions having a

negative loading (ADPPQ12F, Q12H, and Q12J). The total score

(ADPPS01) may therefore vary between 0 and 36, a high score indicating

the presence of depression symptoms.

Results

In analysing this scale, unweighted data were used.The sample size

was 13,439 PMKs. However, once the observations containing mostly

missing values were eliminated, the analysis dealt with only 13,140 PMKs.

The non-response rate for the various questions in the rating scale was

roughly 2.0%, whereas for the total score, a non-response rate of 2.2%

was obtained. There was no imputation for the variables in this rating scale.

In spite of the possibility of extracting more than one factor from the

depression rating scale, single-factor analysis was used since the interest

was in developing a global depression index. Following the analysis, the 12

variables of the scale were all kept as components of this factor since all 12

loading values met the established threshold. The Cronbach alpha

coefficient (calculated using SAS software) was 0.82. The variable

ADPPQ12D showed the highest correlation (0.68) with the total score

(once the variable was removed), whereas the variable showing the lowest

correlation was ADPPQ12L with a correlation of 0.33. The Cronbach alpha

coefficient calculated by omitting one variable was between 0.79 and 0.82

for the 12 variables.

 9.13 Family Functioning Scale

Introduction

Questions related to family functioning, i.e. AFNHQ01A to AFNHQ01L,

were developed by researchers at the Chedoke-McMaster Hospital of

McMaster University and have been used widely both in Canada and

abroad. This scale is used to measure various aspects of family

functioning, e.g. problem solving, communications, roles, affective

involvement, affective responsiveness and behaviour control.

Question AFNHQ01M, drawn from the Follow-up to the Ontario Child

Health Study, was added to the original scale to determine whether alcohol

consumption had an effect on global family dynamics. However, it was not

used in the analysis of the scale.

This scale is aimed at providing a global assessment of family functioning

and an indication of the quality of the relationships between parents or

partners. For this reason and because of the small number of questions, no

attempt was made to measure the various aspects of family functioning.

Other surveys have shown that the relationship between family members

has a considerable effect on children. The results of the Ontario Child

Health Study have shown, for example, that there is an important link

between family dysfunction and certain mental conditions in children.

The family functioning scale was administered to either the PMK or

spouse/partner as part of the Parent Questionnaire. The unit of analysis for

the scale is the family. The scale includes twelve questions, each of which

contains four response categories. In order that the lowest score value be

0, the value of the categories was reduced by 1 in calculating the score.

The order of the categories was reversed for questions having a negative

loading (AFNHQ01A, Q01C, Q01E, Q01G, Q01I, and Q01K). The total

score (AFNHS01) may therefore vary between 0 and 36, a high score

indicating family dysfunction.

Results

In analysing this scale, unweighted data were used. The sample size for

the scale was 13,439 families. However, once the observations containing

missing values were eliminated, the analysis dealt only with 13,190

families. The non-response rate for the different variables was between 1.3

and 1.4%, whereas for the total score, a non-response rate of 1.9% was

obtained. There was no imputation for the variables in this scale.

Following single-factor analysis, all 12 variables of the scale were kept

since the loading values were well above the established threshold. The

Cronbach alpha coefficient (calculated using SAS software) was 0.88. The

variable AFNHQ01L showed the highest correlation (0.66) with the total

score (once the variable was removed), whereas the variable showing the

lowest correlation was AFNHQ01A with a correlation of 0.51. The

Cronbach alpha coefficient calculated by omitting one variable was stable

at about 0.87 for the 12 variables.

When the values for the factor score for the family functioning scale are

examined for the NLSCY children, the distribution that is observed is not a

continuous one. In fact the most common score is 12.This is a result of

the fact that there are 12 items in the scale and four possible rescaled

values (0 to 3). Many respondents had a rescaled score of 1 for every item

in the scale and thus an overall score of 12. This means that the

respondent answered "agree" to all of the items in the scale which were

positive and "disagree" to all of the negative items, as opposed to the more

extreme answers of "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree". Basically this

artifact in the scale score is due to the fact than many respondents were

consistent in their answering pattern across items.

 9.14 Social Support Scale

Introduction

Questions ASPHQ01A to ASPHQ01F are a shorter version of the Social

Provisions Scale developed by Dr. Carolyn E. Cutrona and Dr. Daniel W.

Russell of Iowa State University. The Social Provisions Scale is used to

measure perceived support. The scale was shortened within the framework

of an Ontario project called Better Beginnings, Better Future. The shorter

version is used to measure the following components of social

relationships: guidance, reliable alliances (the assurance that others can

be counted upon for practical help) and attachment.

This scale is aimed at determining the level of social support received from

friends, family and others.

Other surveys have shown that social support has an effect on self-esteem

and on an individual's relationship with children and other members of the

family.

The social support scale was administered to either the PMK or

spouse/partner as part of the Parent Questionnaire. The unit of analysis for

the scale is the family.The scale includes six questions, each of which

contains four response categories. In order that the lowest score value be

0, the value of the categories was reduced by 1 in calculating the score.

The order of the categories was reversed for questions having a negative

loading (ASPHQ01A, Q01D and Q01E). The total score (ASPHS01) may

therefore vary between 0 and 18, a high score indicating the presence of

social support.

Results

In analysing this scale, unweighted data were used. The sample size for

the scale was 13,439 families. However, once the observations containing

missing values were eliminated, the analysis dealt with only 13,253

families. The non-response rate for the different variables was between 1.2

and 1.3%,whereas for the score, a non-response rate of 1.4% was

obtained. There was no imputation for the variables in this scale.

Following single-factor analysis, the six items in the scale were kept since

loading values were well above the established threshold. The Cronbach

alpha coefficient (calculated using SAS software) was 0.82. The variable

ASPHQ01C showed the highest correlation (0.65) with the total score

(once the variable was removed), whereas the variable showing the lowest

correlation was ASPHQ01A with a correlation of 0.45. The Cronbach alpha

coefficientcalculated by omitting one variable was between 0.78 and 0.82

for the six variables.

When the values for the factor score for the social support scale are

examined for the NLSCY children, the distribution that is observed is not a

continuous one. In fact the most common scores are 12 and 18.This is a

result of the fact that there are six items in the scale and four possible

rescaled values (0 to 3).

•	Many respondents had a rescaled score of 2 for every item in

the scale and thus an overall score of 12. This means that the

respondent answered "agree" to all of the items in the scale

which were positive and "disagree" to all of the negative items.

•	A second group of respondents has a rescaled score of 3 for

every item in the scale and thus an overall score of 18. This

means that the respondent answered "strongly agree" to all of

the items in the scale which were positive and "strongly

disagree" to all of the negative items.

Basically this artifact in the scale score is due to the fact than many

respondents were consistent in their answering pattern across items.

9.15 Education (Parent)

The Education Section was completed for both the PMK and

spouse/partner. The objective was to gather information on the years of

school completed, educational attainment, and current attendance at an

educational institution.

Research (for example, the Ontario Child Health Study and the National

Longitudinal Survey of Youth in the United States) has indicated a link

between maternal educational attainment, the home environment and child

development.The questions on full-time and part-time school attendance

provide an indicator of the main activities of the PMK and the

spouse/partner.

Due to confidentiality concerns only an aggregated version of the highest

level of education attained by the PMK and spouse/partner have been

included on the microdata file. These variables (AEDPD02 for the PMK and

AEDSD02 for the spouse/partner) have the following values.

•	less than secondary

•	secondary school graduation

•	beyond high school

•	college or university degree (including trade).

On the microdata file this variable has been set to not stated for male

PMKs who do not live with a spouse/partner.

The other education variable included on the microdata file, is current

school status and whether attendance is full-time or part-time. These

variables have been included on the file for the PMK, but it was necessary

to suppress them for the spouse/partner. If the PMK was a lone parent (i.e.,

did not live with a spouse/partner), then only the fact as to whether or not

she/he is a student has been retained, while the detail about full-time/part-time status

has been suppressed.

9.16  Labour Force

Employment stability impacts the home environment, both in terms of

income and stress levels.Research, conducted for the Ontario Child

Health Study, indicates that parental unemployment can adversely impact

child mental health.

The Labour Force Section was completed for both the PMK and

spouse/partner. The main objective of the section was to determine

employment stability as an indicator of the continuity of employment

income.Questions included, periods of absence from work, reason for the

most recent absence, hours worked, and work arrangements (e.g. shifts)

during the previous year. Information was collected on up to six jobs for a

one-year period.

Respondents were asked to identify what they considered to be their main

job over the previous year (if they had more than one job). A complete

description was recorded for this main job and industry and occupation

coding was carried out (using 1980 Standard Industrial Classification codes

and 1980 Standard Occupational Classification codes).

Data on wages and salaries for this main job were collected. Wage rate

data provides an additional source of information on income. This data will

be useful in analysing choices which parents, particularly mothers, face in

deciding to stay at home or to return to the labour force.

9.16.1 Work Duration Derived Variables

With the data collected in the Labour Force Section it was possible to create a

series of derived variables to describe the stability of work for the PMK and

spouse/partner over the previous year.

As mentioned above, a series of questions were asked about each of the

jobs the PMK and spouse/partner held during the previous year to a

maximum of six jobs. For each of these jobs, questions were asked to

determine when the job started and ended. As well, in order to address

absences within a job the following question was asked as the initial lead-in

question to a job:

Did you have that job one year ago, without a break in employment since then?

The intent was that if there had been a break in employment the

respondent was supposed to report this situation as two jobs. The start

date for the first job would be when the respondent first started working at

the job and the end date would be when the break occurred. The second

job would have the point at which the respondent returned to the job as the

start date.

In order to measure duration of employment for the PMK over the previous

year, an employment vector was set up by superimposing the start and end

dates for all jobs held in the previous year. This vector consists of 53

positions.For each position there is an indication if the PMK worked at a

job or business that week.If she did not work at a job or business that

week the value in the vector is 0, if she worked at one job the value is 1, if

she worked at two jobs the value is 2, etc. This employment vector has

been included on the microdata file (ALFPD53). As well, there is a derived

variable (ALFPD33) based on this vector to indicate the number of weeks

the PMK worked at a job or business in the previous year.

A similar vector and derived variable were computed for the spouse/partner

(ALFSD53 and ALFDD33).

In the next release of NLSCY data, next year, additional derived variables

will be included to describe the employment picture over the reference

year, such as number of weeks worked part-time, number of weeks worked

full time, number of gaps in working etc.

9.16.2  Comparison with SLID Data

In order to assess the quality of the data coming from the Labour Force

Section a comparison was made to data coming from the Survey of Labour

and Income Dynamics (SLID). SLID, also conducted by Statistics Canada,

is a national longitudinal survey of household members aged 16 years of

age and over. The goal is to collect detailed income and labour market

data.

For comparison purposes SLID employment data were taken for reference

year 1993. For the NLSCY, the reference year for employment data was

different depending on when the respondent was interviewed. The

reference year could have started anywhere from November 1993 to June

1994. It is not expected that these minor differences in the reference year

should result in any significant differences when comparing the two data

sources. It should be noted that for the SLID comparison all parents of a

child 0 to 11 years old were selected from the SLID database to provide a

similar target population as the NLSCY.

There were three main measures taken from the SLID data.

1/	 Number of Jobs

The first measure taken was number of jobs the respondent held

during the reference year. Note that for SLID data, if the respondent

changed jobs within the same employer without an interruption in

work, this counted as one job only. The same is true for the NLSCY.

2/	 Number of weeks employed

The second measure taken was weeks of employment in the

reference year. It should be noted that a person is considered to be

employed at a job even if he/she is experiencing an unpaid absence

from that job. The one exception to this is if the reason for the

absence is a temporary lay-off (which is considered as

unemployment or not in the labour force). Basically this is an attempt

to measure attachment to an employer even if there is a temporary

unpaid absence from that employer.

3/	 Number of weeks working for pay or profit

The SLID data base also includes information on all absences from

a job (including the number of weeks absent, the reason for the

absence and whether or not the respondent received pay during the

absence). All unpaid absences (such as unpaid absences due to

sickness, vacation, maternity leave etc.) were selected and

subtracted from the number of weeks employed for the respondent

to produce a third employment measure.This third measure was

what the NLSCY was attempting to address - stability of employment

income.

These measures were compared to NLSCY measures for the entire

population of parents (Tables LFS 1a, LFS 1b, and LFS 1c) and then

separately for female parents (Tables LFS 2a, LFS 2b, and LFS 2c) and

male parents (Tables LFS 3a, LFS 3b, and LFS 3c). Comparisons were

made based on sex, since the notion of PMK does not exist for SLID.

Discussion

In terms of number of jobs, NLSCY data matches fairly well with SLID data.

NLSCY has slightly higher estimates for the number of people who had no

jobs during the past year (17.8% vs. 16.8%). One possibility is that people

who were only very marginally involved in the labour force (i.e., only for a

week or two) may have forgotten to report a job. SLID may have done

slightly better here because they were able to feed-back data from the

Labour Force Survey which was not done for the NLSCY.

When the number of weeks worked are compared between NLSCY and

SLID the following results emerge:

•	The NLSCY estimates for weeks worked are fairly close to the

SLID estimates for employment. According to the NLSCY

65.0% of parents are estimated to have worked the entire year.

According to SLID 64.9% of parents are estimated to have been

employed all year. However when unpaid absences (other than

temporary layoffs) are subtracted from weeks employed for the

SLID data, the percentage of parents who worked for pay all

year round reduces to 58.4%. It would seem that for the NLSCY

unpaid absences are not being adequately measured.

•	In order to explore this matter further, parents on the SLID

database who were coded as being employed all year were

selected and those who had at least one unpaid absence over

the year were identified. Of the parents who were employed all

year round close to 10% had at least one unpaid absence and

on average this absence lasted 14 weeks. It would seem that the

NLSCY is missing many of these unpaid absences.

•	The NLSCY estimates that 51.4% of female parents worked all

year while SLID estimates that 54.6% were employed all year

while 45.4% worked for pay all year round. For females it seems

that the NLSCY picks up some unpaid absences but not all.

•	The situation seems to be the most serious for males. The

NLSCY estimates that 81.3% of male parents worked all year

round. SLID estimates that 76.4% were employed all year round

and this reduces to 73.0% when unpaid absences are removed.

To some extent, the problem could be due to the fact that for the

most part employment data for male parents for the NLSCY was

provided on a proxy basis by the female parent (i.e., the PMK). It

may be that the PMK could not recall unpaid absences or spells

of unemployment that her spouse/partner had over the previous

year, particularly if they were short spells.

In general, the problem with the NLSCY data is likely due to the fact that

there were not specific questions asked about absences from a job and

therefore respondents and interviewers may not have handled absences in

a consistent way. The lead in question to the first job was:

Did you have that job one year ago, without a break in

employment since then?

•	In some cases the respondent answered "no" to this question

but in the start and end dates, indicated that they had the job all

year round. This happened for 1.7% of the parents who worked

throughout the year and for approximately 2.5% of female

parents who worked throughout the year. For these parents, it

would seem that there was an absence but no information was

reported about the absence.

•	Another problem is that a respondent may have had an unpaid

absence from the job during the year but answered yes to the

above question because they did not consider the absence to be

a break in employment.

For Cycle 2 a new set of Labour Force questions have been developed.

9.16.3  Wage Rate Edit

There was a series of questions in the Labour Force Section, where the

PMK and spouse/partner reported earnings for the main job. Respondents

were permitted to report earnings by the hour, the week, the year etc. A

derived variable was computed so that an hourly wage rate was given for

each PMK and spouse/partner (ALFPD12 for the PMK and ALFSD12 for

the spouse/partner).

As part of the NLSCY processing system, earning from employment for the

main job for the PMK and spouse/partner were calculated and added

together and compared to household income. Any cases where there was

a large discrepancy were flagged. As well employment earnings for the

PMK were compared to the income for the PMK. Again cases where there

was a large discrepancy were flagged. All wage rates which were very high

(greater than $48.00 per hour) or very low (less than $5.00 per hour) were

flagged.

A manual review was carried out of all cases that were flagged. The

detailed description of the main job for the PMK and spouse/partner were

printed out, along with number of weeks worked at the main and other jobs

and all of theinformation from the Income Section (sources and amount).

In some cases it was determined that there was a problem with the wage

rate information and therefore the hourly wage rate was set to not-stated.

In other cases the income variables were deemed to be the problem and

corrective actions were taken for these variables. This is discussed in

Section 9.17.1.

As a result of this edit, the wage rate was set to not-stated for 263 PMK

records and for 206 spouse/partner records. In a few cases it was

determined that the reporting period was not correct and an appropriate

correction was made. For example, it was indicated on the questionnaire

that earning per week were reported but it was determined that it was more

likely earnings per hour.

9.16.4  Microdata File Suppressions

It was possible to include industry and occupation codes on

the microdata file, but only for fairly large aggregate groupings.

For occupation, 21 major groups have been included and for industry

13 groups. The Pineo-economic classification code for the main job has

also been included onthe microdata file. In a few cases industry and

occupation codes have been set to not-stated due to confidentiality concerns.

The occupation codes for the PMK corresponding to religion and mining have been set to not-stated.

In total:

 •	the occupation code was set to not-stated for 131 PMKs and

for 181 spouse/partners

 •	the industry code was set to not-stated for 106 PMKs and

for six spouse/partners

•the Pineo code was set to not stated for 486 PMKs and for

470 spouse/partners

The hourly wage rate for the PMK and spouse/partner have been included

on the microdata file but they have been capped at $24.00 per hour at the

upper end and $5.00 per hour at the lower end. The input variables used to

calculate the hourly wage rate have been suppressed.

It was possible to include the detailed information on all jobs held by the

PMK and spouse/partner in the previous year on the microdata file, except

for the start and end dates of the jobs. These dates could potentially give

an indication of collection date which was suppressed, as discussed in

Section 9.2. However the vectors to indicate the weeks worked over the

previous year for the PMK and spouse/partner have been included.

9.17  Income

In the Income Section of the NLSCY, the sources and amount of household

income were collected, as well as the personal income of the PMK.

This information will provide an indicator of the family's economic situation,

an essential component of the child's environment.Although the PMK's

and household's income may not be clear indicators of income distribution

among all family members, they act as general indicators of the

household's economic situation.

Two approaches were used for collecting amount of income. If the

respondent was reluctant or unwilling to provide a specific dollar amount for

household and personal income, a "cascade" question was asked.The

cascade consisted of income categories.

For household income:

•	81.9% of respondents provided an exact amount

•	14.4% provided an answer to the cascade question

•	3.7% could not or refused to provide any answer.

For PMK income:

•	85.6% of respondents provided an exact amount

•	7.0% provided an answer to the cascade question

•	7.3% could not or refused to provide any answer.

9.17.1  Wage Rate Edit and Income Imputation

As mentioned in the previous section, a wage rate edit was carried out to

compare earnings from employment to income. The combined earnings of

the PMK and spouse/partner were compared to household income and the

earnings of the PMK were compared to the PMK income. Cases where

there were large discrepancies were flagged for a manual review. Cases

where household income was either very high or very low were also

flagged (less than $10,000 or over $150,000). In the manual review, if a

decision was made that the household and/or PMK income were not

correct they were set to not-stated.

As a result of this edit, household income was set to not-stated for 1,375

records (10.2% of responding households) and the PMK income was set to

not-stated for 2,055 records (15.3% of PMKS).

Two observations were made during this edit:

•	There was feeling that there was a tendency for household

income to be under reported when a comparison was made

to earnings from employment. Comparisons with data from

the Survey of Consumer Finances presented in the next

section substantiated this suspicion.

•	There were many cases when the PMK did not correctly

report her personal income. Instead of reporting personal

income she repeated the figure for household income. This

was particularly true in Québec. Changes have been made

to the French wording for the PMK income question for

Cycle 2.

After the wage rate edit any record with a not-stated value to either

household or PMK income was imputed. An exact income value was

imputed for any record where only the cascade question had been

answered.

The imputation method used was "hot-deck imputation".For any record

with a not-stated income value, a "donor" record was found. This donor

record was:

•	a responding NLSCY record with a valid value for income

and

•	was deemed to be similar to the record with the not-stated

income value.

"Similar" was determined by way of matching variables. If a record had a

not-stated value for household income the donor record had to be similar

with respect to:

•	earnings from employment for the PMK and spouse/partner

•	sources of household income

•	Pineo occupation code for PMK and spouse/partner

•	economic region

•	highest level of education for the PMK and spouse/partner.

If there was an answer provided for the income cascade question an exact

value was imputed within the appropriate range.

In total household income was imputed for 3,545 (26% of responding

households):

For:

•	11.1% of households, a household income was imputed

making use of the cascade question - i.e., within the range

indicated by the cascade question

•	10.9% of households, a household income was imputed

matching on employment earnings of the PMK and

spouse/partner

•	4.3% of households, household income was imputed using

other matching variables.

The PMK's personal income, was imputed for 3,774 records (28% of

responding households):

For:

•	5.3% of PMKs,income was imputed making use of the

cascade question - i.e., within the range indicated by the

cascade question

•	17.0% of PMKs, income was imputed matching on

employment earnings of the PMK

•	5.7% of PMKs, income was imputed using other matching

variables.

9.17.2  Comparison to Survey of Consumer Finances

In order to assess the quality of the income data for the NLSCY,

comparisons were made to data from the Survey of Consumer Finances

(SCF).

SCF is an annual survey conducted by Statistics Canada. For this survey

detailed income information is collected individually for each household

member. An amount is collected for each specific source of income. These

numbers are all added together to get an estimate of total household

income, In order to make the comparison, only SCF households with at

least one child in the 0 to 11 age group have been included. The reference

year for the SCF data is 1994.

The table below compares the distribution of household income from the

NLSCY (before the wage rate edit and after imputation) to the SCF

distribution.

 HOUSEHOLD INCOME DISTRIBUTION

HOUSEHOLD	NLSCY	NLSCY	SCF

INCOME	(before wage	(after

rate edit)	imputation)

Less than $20,000	18.1% 	15.9% 	14.1%

$20,000 - $29,999	11.0% 	10.9% 	10.9%

$30,000 - $39,999	13.9% 	13.7% 	13.2%

$40,000 - $49,999	14.0% 	13.9% 	14.2%

$50,000 - $59,999	12.4% 	12.7% 	13.3%

$60,000 - $69,999	8.8% 	9.9% 	10.5%

$70,000 - $79,999	7.9% 	8.0% 	7.7%

$70,000 or more	13.9% 	15.1% 	16.2%

When the distribution of household income is compared from the NLSCY to

SCF it would seem that the NLSCY underestimates household income.

The wage rate edit and income imputation resulted in the income

distribution coming closer to SCF but there still seems to be an

underestimation problem.

One potential reason for the problem may be as a result of the way that the

income question was asked. For the NLSCY there was only one overall

global question where the respondent had to include income figures for all

household member for all sources. Perhaps this is too onerous a task for

the respondent and certain portions of income are forgotten and not

reported. Various alternatives for the income questions will be considered

for future NLSCY cycles.

9.17.3  Microdata File Suppressions

Again it was necessary to make certain suppressions of

income data for the microdata file.

The main source for household income has been grouped into three

categories:

•	wages and salaries, income from self-employment

•	worker's compensation, unemployment insurance, social

assistance

•	other

This variable was suppressed for households where there was a male

PMK with no spouse/partner.

A variable was created for household and PMK income (AINHD01A and

AINPD02) for all households with the following categories:

•	less than $10,000

•	$10,000 - $14,999

•	$15,000 - $19,999

•	$20,000 - $29,999

•	$30,000 - $39,999

•	$40,000 or more

For households in which there was a couple i.e., the PMK had a

spouse/partner it was permissible to have more detail at the upper end.

Therefore a second income variable (AINHD01B) was set up with the

following categories:

•	less than $10,000

•	$10,000 - $14,999

•	$15,000 - $19,999

•	$20,000 - $29,999

•	$30,000 - $39,999

•	$40,000 - $49,999

•	$50,000 - $59,999

•	$60,000 - $79,999

•	$80,000 or more

This second variable has been set to not-applicable on the microdata file

for all households where the PMK does not have a spouse/partner.

9.18  Friends and Family

Friends and Family was one of the sections on the questionnaire

completed by children in the 10 to 11 age group. The objective was to

determine how well the child felt he/she was getting along with others.

The section collected information on numbers of close friends, time spent

with friends, presence of someone the child can confide in, and the quality

of relationships with others, such as parents, peers and teachers.This

information is important in identifying the extent and quality of the child's

social support network.To allow for comparison, the section includes

questions which are also included on the Child's Questionnaire completed

by the PMK.

There was one group of questions in this section which were part of a

scale. Items AA1CQ01, AA1CQ02, AA1CQ03, and AA1CQ04 are intended

to measure how well the child gets along with peers. It is part of the Peer

Relations Sub-scale from the Marsh Self-Description Questionnaire,

developed by H.W. Marsh. The analysis of the factor structure of this scale

has not yet been carried out. The results of this analysis will be included in

the second release of NLSCY data.

9.19  Feelings and Behaviour

This section was part of the self-complete questionnaire given to children in

the 10 to 11 age group. The objective of this section was to determine the

child's perception of his/her general behaviour and the child's engagement

in risk-taking behaviours.

This section replicates the behaviour checklist included on the Child's

Questionnaire completed by the PMK (Section 9.6) and the one on the

Teacher's Questionnaire (which is to be included in the second release of

NLSCY data).It is intended to provide indicators of the following

behaviours: conduct disorder, hyperactivity, inattention, physical

aggression, indirect aggression, emotional disorder, anxiety, and prosocial

behaviours.There were also questions which probe for difficult

behaviours; these were also included on the Child's Questionnaire

completed by the PMK.

The analysis of the factor structure of the behaviour scale has not yet been

carried out for the 10 to 11 Questionnaire for NLSCY data. The following

indicates the constructs or factors that the behaviour scale is intending to

measure, the items that are believed to be included in the factor and the

sources for the items.

•	Conduct disorder:

Items include AD1CQ01C, E, G, L, O, T, AA, DD, FF, JJ,

and PP from the Ontario Child Health Study (OCHS).

•	Hyperactivity

Items include AD1CQ01B, I, N, P, S and Wfrom the

Ontario Child Health Study and AD1CQ1HH from the

Montreal Longitudinal Survey.

•	Emotional disorder

Items include AD1CQ01F, K, Q, V, CC, MM, and RR from

the Ontario Child Health Study.

•	Anxiety

Items include AD1CQ01Y and AD1CQ1II from the Montreal

Longitudinal Survey and several of the OCHS emotional

disorder items - AD1CQ01F, Q, V and CC.

•	Indirect aggression

Items include AD1CQ01J, R, Z, LL and TT from

Lagerspetz, Bjorngvist and Peltonen of Finland.

•	Physical aggression

Items include AD1CQ01X from the Montreal Longitudinal

Survey and AD1CQ01G, AA and NN from the Ontario Child

Health Study.

•	Inattention

Items include AD1CQ01P from the Ontario Child Health

Study and AD1CQ1EE, KK, QQ from the Montreal

Longitudinal Survey.

•	Prosocial behaviour

Items include AD1CQ01A, H, M GG and OO from the

Ontario Child Health Study and AD1CQ01D, U, BB, SS,

and UU from the Montreal Longitudinal Survey.

In the next release of NLSCY data, a complete analysis will be carried out

on the factor structure for the 10 to 11 behaviour scale and scores will be

computed and included on the microdata file.

The questions on difficult behaviours of 10 and 11 year-olds are based on

the following sources: AD1CQ01A to D are from the National Longitudinal

Survey of Youth at Ohio State University; AD1CQ02E is from theWestern

Australia Child Health Survey, and AD1CQ02F was provided by Dr. R.

Tremblay of the University of Montreal.

9.20  My Parents and Me

This section was part of the self-complete questionnaire given to children in

the 10 to 11 age group. The objective was to complement the Parenting

Section on the Child's Questionnaire completed by the PMK by gathering

information directly from the child regarding his/her perception of his/her

relationship with parents.For the self-completed questionnaire, it also was

considered important to obtain a measure of parental supervision (i.e.,

monitoring), as this has been shown to be linked to child outcomes - there

is a correlation between a lack of supervision and negative outcomes, such

as juvenile delinquency and other risk-taking behaviours.

The scale that was used was also used in the Western Australia Child

Health Survey.It was developed by Lempers et al (1989) based on work

of Schaefer (1965) and Roberts et al (1984) and measures parental

nurturance, rejection and monitoring. This information will complement the

constructs measured in the parent-completed Child's Questionnaire

(positive interaction,hostile/ineffective parenting, and consistent parenting,

aversive and non-aversive parent management techniques.)

The analysis of the factor structure of the parenting scale has not yet been

carried out for the 10 to 11 Questionnaire for NLSCY data. It will be carried

out by the time of the next release and details will be given at that time.

9.21 PPVT-R

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test - Revised (PPVT-R) was

administered to the NLSCY children in the 4 to 5 age group.

The PPVT-R was designed to measure receptive or hearing vocabulary

and in fact can be used for any group, up to adult. The test was developed

by Lloyd and Leota Dunn, at the University of Hawaii, and has been widely

used in large-scale data collections as well as assessments. A French

adaptation of the PPVT-R was developed by the test's authors and Claudia

M. Thériault at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N. B. The French test

is called the Échelle de vocabulaire en images Peabody (EVIP).

For the NLSCY, the PPVT-R was used to measure school readiness for

children in the 4 to 5 age group. Verbal parental consent was required

before the test was administered. If permission was granted, the

interviewer then administered the test to the child in the home. The child

looked at pictures on an easel and identified the picture which matched the

word the interviewer read out.

A total raw score was calculated for each child who completed the PPVT-R

by computing correct responses. A standardized score was also assigned

to each child. Standard scores allow for comparisons of scores to be made

across age groups. Obviously a 5 year-old would be expected to perform

better on the PPVT-R than a 4 year-old and thus have a higher score. The

standard score takes account of the child's age.

Standard scores for a test are usually developed based on the distribution

of scores obtained by some defined sample of individuals. This is called the

norm sample. For the PPVT-Rindividuals in the norm sample were

assigned standard scores so the mean of the standard scores was 100 and

the standard deviation was 15 for all age groupings. This standardization

was done by 2 month age groups.

The PPVT-R norm sample was based on a sample selected in the United

States. It was decided that it would be appropriate to develop standardized

scores for the Canadian context. Therefore, in collaboration with the

developers of the test, Canadian norms have been developed for children

in the 4 to 5 age group. It should be notes that the standardization was

done separately for the PPVT-R and EVIP. Therefore when global

comparisons are made between children who completed the test in English

vs. French, by definition performance should be equivalent.

Reliability measures for the PPVT have been calculated based on the

American norm sample (Dunn and Dunn, 1981). Reliability scores for the

NLSCY sample will be computed and included in the next release.

PPVT Assessment

Once the entire NLSCY interview had been completed and the Interviewer

had left the household she completed an assessment questionnaire to

assess the conditions under which the PPVT-R or EVIP was administered

to indicate factors which may have influenced the child's responses and

his/her overall reaction to the test.

Responses to these assessment questions are included on the microdata

file and can be grouped into four factors. A score was calculated for each

of these factors.

•	The child's attitude to the test

The score for this factor is labelled as APACS01 on the

microdata file. It was derived using the following items;

APACQ1 (attitude) APACQ2 (rapport), APACQ3

(perseverance/persistence), APACQ4 (cooperation),

APACQ5 (motivation/interest), and APACQ9 (shy/anxious).

These items were all ranked by the interviewer on a scale of

1 to 5. Before calculating the score, the order of values was

reversed for items APACQ1, APACQ2, APACQ3, APACQ4

and APACQ5 (i.e., 5 was recoded to 1, 4 was recoded to 2,

etc.) so that the higher the value the more severe the

problem. Then all values were rescaled to 0 to 4 by

subtracting one from the value for all six items. Finally the

sum of these transformed values was taken across the six

items. The final score ranges from 0 to 24, where 0 means

the absence of a problem and 24 the highest possible score

with respect to problems.

•	Physical and health problems

The score for this factor is labelled as APACS02 on the

microdata file. It was derived using the following items;

APACQ6 (problems with visual sharpness), APACQ7

(problems with hearing) and APACQ8 (health problems).

The score ranges from 0 to 3, where 0 means the absence

of a problem and 3 means the highest score with respect to

problems. In order to calculate the score, the number of

'yes' answers was summed.

•	The room environment

The score for this factor is labelled as APACS03 on the

microdata file. It was derived from APACQ13 (light

problems) and APACQ14 (temperature problems). Before

calculating the score the order of values was reversed and

then the values were rescaled to 0 to 4. Finally the sum of

these transformed values was taken across the two items.

The final score ranges from 0 to 8, where 0 means the

absence of a problem and 8 the highest possible score with

respect to problems.

•	The level of distraction during the test

The score for this factor is labelled as APACS04 on the

microdata file. It was derived from APACQ10 (noise

interference), APACQ11 (interruptions), APACQ12

(distractions) and APACQ15 (presence of others). Before

calculating the score the order of values was reversed and

then the values were rescaled to 0 to 4. Finally the sum of

these transformed values was taken across the four items.

The final score ranges from 0 to 16 where 0 means the

absence of a problem and 16 the highest possible score

with respect to problems.

In order to assess whether or not each of the above factors had an impact

on the test score a threshold value was established for each score. A child

with a score above this value was said to have a problem.

For the child's attitude to the test the threshold value was set at 13. Any

child with an attitude score greater than or equal to 13 was said to have a

problem. This corresponds to a "below average" value to at least one of the

items that makes up the score for the factor. For physical and health

problems the threshold was set at 1. Any child with at least one physical or

health problem was said to have a problem. For the room environment

score the threshold value was set at 5. For the distraction score the

threshold was set at 9.

The following table shows the percentage of children who took the test that

had a problem for any of the assessment factors (i.e., a factor score at or

above the threshold). As well the average standard score of children with

the problem are compared to those without the problem.

 PPVT ASSESSMENT

PPVT	% of children	Average	Average

Physical and

health problems	3.7% 	96.2 	100.1

Room

environment

problems

Distraction

problems	6.4% 	94.3 	100.4

As can be seen in the table, the PPVT Assessment revealed that

significantly lower scores were obtained for children who had a less

positive attitude to the test, who had physical or health problems, or who

were distracted by their surroundings during the test. At the same time only

small proportions of children were affected by these problems.

In Section 10.5, response rates for the PPVT-R are presented along with

estimates of response bias.

9.22  Mathematics Computation Test

All NLSCY children in grade 2 or above were to complete a Mathematics

Computation Test. During the household interview the parent was asked to

give consent for the test to be administered by the child's teacher. The test

that was administered was a shortened version of the Mathematics

Computation Test of the standardized Canadian Achievement Tests,

Second Edition (CAT/2). CAT/2 is a test series designed to measure

achievement in basic skills.The Mathematics Computation Test measures

a student's understanding of the operations of addition, subtraction and

multiplication and division of whole numbers. The shortened test that was

developed for the NLSCY was a 10 question test for grades 2 and 3 and a

15 question test for children in the higher grades. There were actually three

versions of the test administered to the NLSCY children in Cycle 1.

Children in grades 2 and 3 were given the level2 test, children in grades 4

and 5, the level 4 test, and children in grades 6 and 7, the level 6 test.

Every child who completed the mathematics computation test was

assigned a raw and a standard score. A raw score was calculated by

adding the number of correct responses to the test. Standard scores were

developed based on a sample of Canadian children across all ten

provinces, referred to as the norm sample. This norm sample was selected

by the Canadian Testing Centre. Children in this norm sample in grades 2

and 3 (i.e., who took the level 2 test) were assigned standard scores in the

200 to 400 range (approximately) based on the number of correct

responses to the test (i.e., the raw score), children in grades 4 and 5 (i.e.,

who took the level 4 test) were assigned standard scores in the 264 to 550

range, and children in grades 6 and 7 (i.e., who took the level 6 test) were

assigned scores in the 314 to 624 range. Thus children were essentially

assigned a continuous score through equi-percentile equating which is

expected to increase over time as the child progresses through school. The

CAT/2 scale is designed to have scores ranging from 1 to 999.

Equivalence tables were set up to relate the raw score to a standard score

by the level of test that was administered based on the results for children

in the norm sample.

For children in the NLSCY sample, a standard score was assigned to each

child using the equivalence tables. The advantage of using the standard

score is that it will possible to track a child's progress over time by

comparing his or her standard score to the average standard score for the

grade level and by examining growth curves.

It should be noted that there were some problems with the Mathematics

Computation Test for Cycle 1 of the NLSCY. For certain grades, the test

that was used was not significantly difficult to properly distinguish math

computation abilities for children in these grades. The problem was critical

for grades 3 and 5 where many children achieved a perfect score on the

test. This is often referred to as a "ceiling effect". As a result, great caution

should be taken in analysing the data for children in grades 3 and 5. This

problem is discussed further in Section 10.8. For Cycle 2 of the NLSCY a

more difficult test has been developed for children in these grades.

A second problem is related to response rates. The response rate for the

Mathematics Computation Test was quite low; a score is available only for

approximately 50% of the responding NLSCY children in grades 2 and

over. Reasons for this low response rate are discussed in Section 10.7.

10.0 Data Quality

The estimates derived from this survey are based on a sample of children.

Somewhat different figures might have been obtained if a complete census

had been taken using the same questionnaire, interviewers, supervisors,

processing methods, etc. as those actually used.The difference between

the estimates obtained from the sample and the results from a complete

count taken under similar conditions is called the sampling error of the

estimate.

Errors which are not related to sampling may occur at almost every phase

of a survey operation.Interviewers may misunderstand instructions,

respondents may make errors in answering questions, the answers may be

incorrectly entered on the questionnaire and errors may be introduced in

the processing and tabulation of the data.These are all examples of

non-sampling errors.

In this section some of the non-sampling errors that occurred in the NLSCY

are discussed. Non-response to the various components of the NLSCY is

discussed in detail. It should be noted that further information regarding

data quality in the various sections of the NLSCY questionnaire can be

found in Section 9.

10.1  Overall Response Rates and Response Bias

In total, 15,579 households were selected to participate in the NLSCY. Out

of these selected households a response was obtained for 13,439 which

results in an overall response rate of 86.3%.

In the table that follows the number of households selected in each

province is presented as well as the number of responding households and

the response rate.This is followed by a table giving the response rates for

the Main and Integrated Components. It should be noted that for the

Main Component only households which were respondents to the Labour

Force Survey were included in the NLSCY sample. The impact of not

including LFS non-respondents is discussed later on in this section.

INTEGRATED	  2,675	  2,289	85.6%

COMPONENT

OVERALL	15,579	13,439	86.3%

As mentioned in Section 5, initially the response rates to the NLSCY were

not as high as expected. Therefore in June of 1995 a major follow-up was

conducted of all non-responding households. In this follow-up 787

households were converted to respondents thereby increasing the

response rate by 5%.

There were many possible reasons why a household chose not to respond

to the NLSCY. In some cases an interviewer was unable to make contact

with a selected household for the entire collection period, in other cases the

household refused to participate in the survey, special circumstances such

as an illness or death in a family or extreme weather conditions sometimes

prevented an interview from taking place.

Sometimes it was possible to carry out some of the interview but a

complete interview was not obtained for a variety of reasons. Some

respondents were willing to give only a certain amount of time to the

completion of the survey. In some cases an interviewer completed a

portion of the survey with the respondent and made an appointment to

continue at another time but was unable to recontact the respondent.

It was necessary to come up with a criteria for classifying these "partial"

interviews as respondent or non-respondent households. If the majority of

the survey had been completed, obviously the preference was to keep this

case and label it as a responding household. However if only very minimal

information was collected, the decision was made to drop the household

and treat it as a non-responding household. In order to make this

assessment the data collected for each selected child in the household

were examined. This was done by analysing certain key questions across

the Child Questionnaire. An assessment was made as to whether or not

there was an adequate amount of information collected for at least one

child in each household. If there was, this household was maintained in the

responding sample. All missing variables for this household were set to not

stated or imputed. If there was not adequate information for at least one

child then the household was dropped from the responding sample and

treated as a non-response. A more thorough discussion on the procedure

for assigning response codes to partial interviews can be found in Section

6.3.

In the table that follows the disposition of the non-responding sample is

presented.

THE NLSCY NON-RESPONDING SAMPLE

BY REASON FOR NON-RESPONSE

REASON	NON-RESPONDING  HOUSEHOLDS	%
Refusal	1,437	67.1
No One at Home	117	5.5
Temporarily Absent	31	1.4
Language Barrier	62	2.9
Special Circumstances  (sickness in family, weather conditions etc.)	173	8.1
Partial Response ( rejected due to an inadequate amount of information)	283	13.2

Total	2,140

Non-response Bias

Non-response is a type of error that can result in bias in survey estimates.

Biased estimates can result if the non-respondents to a survey differ

significantly from the respondents.

In order to study the effect of non-response bias, a study was carried out

for households included in the sample for the Main Component. Since

these households were at one point LFS respondents, certain information

was available on both respondents and non-respondents to the Main

Component. For the integrated sample there is no prior information

available about non-responding household so a non-response bias study

was not possible.

There were 12,904 households selected for the Main Component; 11,150

were respondents and 1,754 were non-respondents. Information collected

for the LFS was compared for these responding and non-responding

groups. The analysis was carried out using weighted data with a correction

for the complex sampling design.

The LFS characteristics that were considered in this comparison included:

•	Single-parent vs. two-parent family

•	CMA/non-CMA

•	Age group of parent

•	Student status of parent

 - student vs. non-student

 - part-time student vs. full-time student

•	Education of parent

•	Occupation of parent

•	Industry of parent

•	Labour force status of parent

•	Number of children in the household.

Out of this list there was a significant difference between responding and

non-responding households for only four variables.

•	Non-responding households were more likely to be in CMAs.

•	The parent in non-responding households was more likely to be

in the 40+ age group.

•	The parent in non-responding households was more likely to

have a lower level of education (0 to 8 years of education).

•	Households where the parent was a student were more likely to

be responding households.

It should be noted that problems associated with the first two variables

(CMA and age) are at least partially corrected in the weight adjustments

that were carried out. There was a weight adjustment made within CMAs

and there was an adjustment made by single years of age for children (See

Section 7). Older children are more likely to have older parents so at least

some adjustment has been made to compensate for the higher non-response rate for older parents.

The impact of non-responding households where the parent had a lower

level of education remains minimal due to the fact that a relatively small

proportion of the sample falls into this category.

Other Sources of Bias

For the NLSCY Main Component there is another potential source of bias

due to the method by which the sample was selected for this component.

As discussed in Section 4, the sample for this component was selected

from households that had participated in the Canadian Labour Force

Survey. Households which had at least one child 0 to 11 years of age at

the time of the LFS interview were selected for the NLSCY. This sampling

methodology results in two problems.

One problem is that only respondents to the LFS were considered for the

NLSCY sample for the Main Component. It could be that some of the LFS

non-respondents had children in the appropriate target age group; but

these households were not included in the NLSCY sample. The response

rate to the LFS was approximately 95% in the time period in which the

NLSCY sample was selected. It is estimated that approximately 700

households with children were missed due to the fact that no attempt was

made to make contact with non-responding LFS households.

A second complication was due to the fact that only households for which

there were children when the LFS was conducted were included in the

NLSCY sample. It is possible that households were not included in the

sample since they were vacant or only contained members 12 years of age

or older at the time of the LFS.Some of these household may have had

children (0 to 11) living in them a few months later when the NLSCY

interview took place. It is estimated that approximately 240 households with

children were missed in the NLSCY sample for this reason. It is likely that a

large portion of these 240 household would represent households with a

newborn, since the newborn came into the family after the time of the LFS.

The weighting procedures carried out (see Section 7) compensates for the

under representation of 0 year-olds at the global level, but there is likely an

under representation of children 0 to 3 months old.

In total 3080 households were missed due to non-response to the NLSCY

interview (2140) or due to the two problems discussed above (940). A

complete interview was obtained for 13,439 households which represents

81.4% of the total households estimated to have children in the 0 to 11 age

group.

10.1.1 Component Non-response

As discussed in Section 5, there were several respondents or

components to the NLSCY interview. The PMK provided detailed information about

each selected child. In the parent and the general interview, the PMK

provided information about herself and her spouse/partner. The PPVT-R

test was administered to children in the 4 to 5 age group. Children in the 10

to 11 age group completed a questionnaire on their own. For school-aged

children the teacher completed a questionnaire about the child and if the

child was in grade 2 or above a Math Test was administered. There was a

potential for non-response for each of these individual components.

It should be noted however, that if a household was deemed to be a

responding household, then all required components were created for that

household; even if there were no data provided for a particular component.

For example, if there was a 10 year-old in a responding household who

would not complete the 10 to 11 Questionnaire, then this component still

exists for the child, with all variables set to not-stated. Likewise if a parent

completed a Child Questionnaire for one child in the household but refused

to provide information for a second child then there is a record for this

second child with not-stated values for all variables.

The following sections provide a summary of the degree to which there is

complete data for the various NLSCY components. A brief summary of the

content for each of these components can be found in Section 5. As it can

be seen in the sections that follow, the impact of partial non-response on

data quality is minimal. The one exception to this is the Mathematics

Computation Test (Section 10.7).

10.2  Child Questionnaire Response Rates

In order to assess the completeness of the child data (i.e., the information

provided by the PMK about the child) several key questions were identified

across the Child Questionnaire. One item was selected from most of the

sections on this questionnaire in a somewhat random fashion to assess

data quality. Of the responding sample of 22,831 children:

•	there were answers to all key questions for 97.1% of the

children,

•	there was partial information for 1.3% and,

•	for 1.6% of these children there was a non-response to all

key items.

10.3  Parent Questionnaire Response Rates

This questionnaire was administered for the both the PMK and

spouse/partner.Again key questions were identified to assess

completeness. Out of the 24,692 PMKs and spouse/partners:

•	there were answers to all key questions for 91.8% cases,

•	there was partial information for 6.3% and,

•	for 1.9% of cases there was a non-response to all key

items.

 10.4  General Questionnaire Response Rates

This questionnaire was also administered to the PMK and spouse/partner.

Out of the 24,692 PMKs and spouse/partners:

•	there were answers to all key questions for 98.5% of cases,

•	there was partial information for 0.1% and,

•	for 1.4% of cases there was a non-response to all key

items.

 10.5  PPVT-R Response Rates and Bias

For the 3,728 children in the 4 to 5 age group:

•	a PPVT-R score was calculated for 88.8% of these

children,

•	1.0% of children started the test but did not finish so a

score could not be calculated,

•	for the remaining 10.2% of children the test was not started.

In order to assess non-response bias for the PPVT-R, characteristics of the

children who completed the test (88.8%) were compared with those who

did not (11.2%).

The following table presents the variables included in this non-response

bias study and the results. An explanation is given for differences

significant at the 95% confidence level.

NON-RESPONSE BIAS FOR PPVT-R

Highest level of education of PMK	No effect
Province	The response rate was lower in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, (84.1%, 80.6% and 83.1%)

10.6  10 to 11 Questionnaire Response Rates and Bias

Again key questions (nine in total) were identified on the 10 to 11

Questionnaire in order to assess completeness. Out of the 3,434 children

in the 10 to 11 age group selected in responding households:

•	there were answers to all key questions for 75.1% of these

children,

•	at least half but not all key questions were answered for

11.6% of the children,

•	at least one but less than half of the key questions were

answered for 3.0% of the children and,

•	for 10.3% there was a non-response to all key items.

In order to assess non-response bias for the 10 to 11 Questionnaire,

characteristics of the children who answered at least half of the key

questions (86.7%) were compared with those who did not (13.3%).

The following table presents the variables included in this non-response

bias study and the results. Only results significant at the 95% confidence

level are presented. Children who answered at least half of the key

questions are labelled as respondents in this table.

NON- RESPONSE BIAS FOR 10 TO 11 QUESTIONNAIRE

VARIABLE	RESULT
Sex of the child (AMMCQ02)	Girls were more likely to respond to the 10 to 11 Questionnaire than boys. The response rate for girls was 87.8% and the response rate for boys was 85.5%
Parent Status (ADMCD04)       - child lives with       - two parents      - one parent       - no parents	No effect
Score on the hyperactivity factor on the behaviour scale on the Child's Questionnaire (ABECS06)	No effect
Score on the prosocial factor on the behaviour scale on the Child's Questionnaire (ABECS07)	Children who were more prosocial were more likely to be respondents.  Average prosocial score •Respondents - 13.0 •Non-respondents - 12.4

Score on the indirect aggression factor on the behaviour scale on the Child's Questionnaire (ABECS10)	No effect
How well the child is doing at school in reading based on information from the parent on the Child's Questionnaire (AEDCQ14A)	Children who were doing poorly or very poorly in reading were more likely to be non-respondents.  For children who had poor or very poor reading skills the response rate was 67.3%. For children who were reported to have average or above average skills the response rate was 88.4%
How well the child is doing at school "overall" based on information from the parent on the Child's Questionnaire (AEDCQ14D)	Children who were doing poorly or very poorly in school were more likely to be non-respondents.  For children who very doing poorly or very poorly in school the response rate was 59.3%. For children who were reported to have average or above average skills the response rate was 88.2%
Household income (AINHD01)	Children living in households with lower incomes were more likely to be non-respondents. Average household income •Respondents  - $50,466 •Non-respondents  - $43,633
Highest level of education of PMK	Children for which the PMK had a higher level of education were more likely to be respondents
Province	The response rate was lower in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, (82.5%, 76.8% and 84.7%)

10.7  Mathematics Test Response Rate and Bias

As mentioned earlier, one component of the NLSCY was administered at

school.Wherever parents and school boards consented, the child's

teacher and principal were contacted and asked a number of questions

about the child and his/her school environment.Children in grade 2 and

above were also given a short mathematical skills test. Mathematics tests

were completed for only 50.5% of the children in grade 2 and over who

were part of the NLSCY responding sample. The table that follows shows

the distribution by province.

DISTRIBUTION OF MATHEMATICS TESTS BY PROVINCE

	Number of children "eligible" for the mathematics test	Number of mathematics tests completed
Newfoundland	541	378
Prince Edward Island	281	153
Nova Scotia	549	326
New Brunswick	534	316
Québec	1,372	505
Ontario	2,208	1,160
Manitoba	646	327
Saskatchewan	699	304
Alberta	835	436
British Columbia	702	334
Total	8,367	4,239

The number of math tests completed divided by the number of children

"eligible" for the test represents the response rate for the math test. A lower

response rate has two potential consequences.First, it reduces the actual

sample size for which users will have data.Second, non-respondents may

have different characteristics from respondents, which would produce a

bias in the results.

The math test response rate was lower than originally hoped.Various

factors affected the response rate.Although no one factor was particularly

detrimental, a combination of factors had an impact on the response rate.

Nevertheless, it is unlikely that all these factors had the same effect on

potential bias.For example, to boost the response rate in households,

follow-up collection was carried out in June of 1996.For operational

reasons, no math tests were administered at that time.In addition, a

number of consent forms in Québec were processed too late for the test to

be administered.While these factors did contribute to non-response to the

math test, they probably had less effect on potential bias than cases where

parents refused permission for their children to take the test.The various

components of test non-response are shown in the table below.

NON-RESPONSE FACTORS

Component of non-response	Portion of non-response(%)

Total	51.8

A study was done to assess the impact that the low response rate had on

the results.It is difficult to quantify the actual impact; however it is possible

to examine some of the characteristics observed in household interviews

and compare distributions for cases where there was a response to the

mathematics test vs. a non-response. If those characteristics are related to

the test results, and if a difference in behaviour is noted between

respondents and non-respondents, it can be assumed that there may be

some bias in the data.

The table that follows provides an example of this phenomenon for grade 2

students.

DISTRIBUTION OF MATHEMATICS TEST RESPONDENTS AND

NON- RESPONDENTS BY HOUSEHOLD INCOME CATEGORY

0-$14k  $15k-$29k	$30k-$49k	$50k-$59k	$60k +     Tot.

Respondents

Math.(%)	14.3	  28.5	29.6	15.2	12.4	     100

Non-respondents

Math.(%)	16.9	  28.6	26.6	16.3	11.5	     100

As the table shows, there is a difference between the distributions. The

next table shows the average score to the math test by household income

class.

AVERAGE RAW SCORES OF MATHEMATICS TEST RESPONDENTS

(GRADE 2) BY HOUSEHOLD INCOME CATEGORY

	0-$14k	$15k-$29k	$30k-$44k	$45k-$59k	$60k +
Score	5.24	5.68	6.08	6.32	6.55

There is a higher percentage of children that are non-respondents to the

math test for the lower income class and a lower percentage in the higher

income class. If it is assumed that the average math score is the same for

respondents and non-respondents within an income class, the results from

the responding sample could be expected to be slightly higher than the

results that would have been obtained in the whole population.

The following table presents the list of variables that were compared and

shows the ones that had significant differences between respondents and

non-respondents to the mathematics test.

COMPARISONS BETWEEN RESPONDENTS AND NON-RESPONDENTS TO THE MATH TEST FOR VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NLSCY

VARIABLE	DIFFERENCES	GROUP FOR WHICH RESPONSE RATE IS LOWER
Failed a grade	x	failed a grade
How well child is doing in reading (according to PMK)	x	poorly, very poorly

VARIABLE	DIFFERENCES	GROUP FOR WHICH

Household income	x	0-$15k, refusal
PMK income	x
Number of children in the household	no
CMA	x	certain CMAs in Quebec, as well as Kitchener and Regina

The observed differences in the various characteristics appear to give

evidence that there may be a tendency to overestimate the average scores

of the mathematics test of the responding sample compared to the results

that would have been obtained if everybody in the sample had been a

respondent.

 10.8  Ceiling Effect for Mathematics Test

The mathematics tests administered in Cycle 1 were fairly short.There

were 10 questions in the test for grade 2 and 3 students, and 15 questions

in the test given to students in higher grades.Furthermore, in order to

streamline administrative procedures, tests with the same level of difficulty

were used for two grades (e.g. second and third graders took the same

test, as did grade 4 and 5 students and grade 6 and 7 students).Although

the problem did not show up in the initial testing, a ceiling effect was noted,

especially among third and fifth graders (the ceiling is the highest possible

mark on the test, and a high ceiling effect indicates that "too many" children

had perfect marks).

DISTRIBUTION OF CHILDREN WITH PERFECT MARKS BY GRADE

	Percentage of children with perfect marks
Grade 2	10.6 %
Grade 3	38.0 %
Grade 4	3.2 %
Grade 5	14.7 %
Grade 6	4.5 %
Comparisons at the provincial level reveal even more pronounced

differences.Québec in particular had a more serious ceiling effect.

Consequently, even though the mathematics test scores are available for

all grades, it is recommended that the data for grades 3 and 5 not be used,

or that they be used with extreme caution!

For the next cycle, a number of steps have been taken to improve the

results by increasing the response rate and reducing the ceiling effect.

First, there will be a different test for each grade.All mathematics tests will

consist of 15 questions.An aptitude indicator will be administered during

the home interview to help identify the child's grade and to assist in the

imputation of missing responses where necessary.In addition, in order to

improve response rates, more effort has been put in encouraging school

boards to co-operate and a better tracking system for consent forms has

been implemented.These measures should help eliminate most of the

problems encountered in Cycle 1.

GUIDE07
11.0  Guidelines for Tabulation, Analysis and Release

This section of the documentation outlines the guidelines to be adhered to

by users tabulating, analysing, publishing or otherwise releasing any data

derived from the survey microdata file.With the aid of these guidelines,

users of microdata should be able to produce the same figures as those

produced by Statistics Canada and, at the same time, will be able to

develop currently unpublished figures in a manner consistent with these

established guidelines.

11.1  Rounding Guidelines

In order that estimates for publication or other release derived from the

NLSCY microdata file correspond to those produced by Statistics Canada,

users are urged to adhere to the following guidelines regarding the

rounding of such estimates:

a)	Estimates in the main body of a statistical table

are to be rounded to the nearest hundred units

using the normal rounding technique.In normal

rounding, if the first or only digit to be dropped

is 0 to 4, the last digit to be retained is not

changed.If the first or only digit to be dropped

is 5 to 9, the last digit to be retained is raised by

one.For example, in normal rounding to the

nearest 100, if the last two digits are between

00 and 49, they are changed to 00 and the

preceding digit (the hundreds digit) is left

unchanged.If the last digits are between 50

and 99 they are changed to 00 and the

preceding digit is incremented by 1.

b)	Marginal sub-totals and totals in statistical

tables are to be derived from their

corresponding unrounded components and

then are to be rounded themselves to the

nearest 100 units using normal rounding.

c)	Averages, proportions, rates and percentages are to

be computed from unrounded components (i.e.

numerators and/or denominators) and then are to be

rounded themselves to one decimal using normal

rounding.

d)	Sums and differences of aggregates (or ratios)

are to be derived from their corresponding

unrounded components and then are to be

rounded themselves to the nearest 100 units

(or the nearest one decimal) using normal

rounding.

e)	In instances where, due to technical or other

limitations, a rounding technique other than

normal rounding is used resulting in estimates

to be published or otherwise released which

differ from corresponding estimates published

by Statistics Canada, users are urged to note

the reason for such differences in the

publication or release document(s).

f)	Under no circumstances are unrounded estimates to

be published or otherwise released by users.

Unrounded estimates imply greater precision than

actually exists.

11.2  Sample Weighting Guidelines for Tabulation

The sample design used for the NLSCY was not self-weighting.When

producing simple estimates, including the production of ordinary statistical

tables, users must apply the proper sampling weight.

If proper weights are not used, the estimates derived from the microdata

file cannot be considered to be representative of the survey population,

and will not correspond to those produced by Statistics Canada.

Users should also note that some software packages may not allow the

generation of estimates that exactly match those available from Statistics

Canada, because of their treatment of the weight field.

11.2.1  Definitions of Types of Estimates: Categorical vs. Quantitative

It should be pointed out that the NLSCY file has been set up so

that the child is the unit of analysis. The weight that can be found on each record

(AWTCW01) is a "child" weight. Estimates of parents or families cannot be

made from the NLSCY microdata file. A further discussion of units of

analyses can be found in Section 8.1 of this document.

Before discussing how the NLSCY data can be tabulated and analysed, it

is useful to describe the two main types of point estimates of population

characteristics which can be generated from the microdata file for the

NLSCY.

Categorical Estimates

Categorical estimates are estimates of the number, or percentage of the

surveyed population possessing certain characteristics or falling into some

defined category.The number of children who were born before the due

date or the proportion of children who were in excellent health at birth are

examples of such estimates.An estimate of the number of persons

possessing a certain characteristic may also be referred to as an estimate

of an aggregate.

Examples of Categorical Questions:

Q: 	Was (the child) born before, after or on the due date?

R: 	Before

After

On due date

Q: 	Compared to other babies in general, would you say the

(the child's) health at birth was:

R:	Excellent

Very good

Good

Fair

Poor

Quantitative Estimates

Quantitative estimates are estimates of totals or of means, medians and

other measures of central tendency of quantities based upon some or all of

the members of the surveyed population. They also specifically involve

estimates of the form 	X^  where X^ is an estimate of the surveyed

Y^

population quantity total and Y^ is an estimate of the number of persons

in the surveyed population contributing to that total quantity.

An example of a quantitative estimate is the average number of days of

care received by babies who required special medical care following birth.

The numerator is an estimate of the total number of days for which babies

required special care. The denominator is the number of babies who

required special care at birth.

Examples of Quantitative Questions:

Q: 	For how many days, in total, was this care received?

R:	I__I__I__I  Days

Q: 	What was the child's weight at birth in pounds and ounces?

R:	I__I__I  Pounds	I__I__I  Ounces

11.2.2  Tabulation of Categorical Estimates

Estimates of the number of children with a certain characteristic can be

obtained from the microdata file by summing the final weights of all records

possessing the characteristic(s) of interest.Proportions and ratios of the

form	X^	are obtained by:

Y^

(a)	summing the final weights of records having the

characteristic of interest for the numerator (X^)

(b)	summing the final weights of records having the

characteristic of interest for the denominator (Y^)

then

(c)	dividing the numerator estimate by the denominator

estimate.

11.2.3  Tabulation of Quantitative Estimates

Estimates of quantities can be obtained from the

microdata file by multiplying the value of the variable of interest by the final weight for each record, then summing this quantity over all records of interest.

For example, to obtain an estimate of the total number of days of special

care received by infants who were born prematurely

- multiply the number of days for which special care was received

 by the final weight,

 -then sum this value over all records for which the child was born

 prematurely

 X^

To obtain a weighted average of the form   Y^  the numerator (X^) is

calculated as for a quantitative estimate and the denominator (Y^) is

calculated as for a categorical estimate.For example, to estimate the

average number of days spent in special care by premature babies,

(a)	estimate the total number of days as described above,

(b)	estimate the number of children in this category by summing

the final weights of all records for babies which were

 premature, then

(c)	divide estimate (a) by estimate (b).

11.3  Guidelines for Statistical Analysis

The NLSCY is based upon a complex sample design, with stratification,

multiple stages of selection, and unequal probabilities of selection of

respondents.Using data from such complex surveys presents problems to

analysts because the survey design and the selection probabilities affect

the estimation and variance calculation procedures that should be used.In

order for survey estimates and analyses to be free from bias, the survey

weights must be used.

While many analysis procedures found in statistical packages allow

weights to be used, the meaning or definition of the weight in these

procedures differ from that which is appropriate in a sample survey

framework, with the result that while in many cases the estimates produced

by the packages are correct, the variance estimates that are calculated are

not adequate.Variances for simple estimates such as totals, proportions

and ratios (for qualitative variables) are provided in the accompanying

Sampling Variability Tables.

For other analysis techniques (for example linear regression, logistic

regression and analysis of variance), a method exists which can make the

variances calculated by the standard packages more meaningful, by

incorporating the unequal probabilities of selection.The method rescales

the weights so that there is an average weight of 1.

For example, suppose that analysis of all male children is required.The

steps to rescale the weights are as follows:

- select all respondents from the file with SEX=male

- Calculate the AVERAGE weight for these records by

summing the original person weights from the microdata file

for these records and then dividing by the number of

records with SEX=male

- for each of these records, calculate a RESCALED weight

equal to the original person weight divided by the

AVERAGE weight

- perform the analysis for these respondents using the

RESCALED weight.

However, because the stratification and clustering of the sample's design

are still not taken into account, the variances calculated in this way are

likely to be under-estimated.

The calculation of truly meaningful variance estimates requires detailed

knowledge of the design of the survey.Such detail cannot be given in this

microdata file because of confidentiality.Variances that take the complete

sample design into account can be calculated for many statistics by

Statistics Canada on a cost-recovery basis.

11.4  C.V. Release Guidelines

Before releasing and/or publishing any estimate from the NLSCY, users

should first determine the quality level of the estimate.The quality levels

are acceptable, marginal and unacceptable.Data quality is affected by

both sampling and non-sampling errors as discussed in Section 10.

However for this purpose, the quality level of an estimate will be

determined only on the basis of sampling error as reflected by the

coefficient of variation as shown in the table below.Nonetheless users

should be sure to read Section 10 to be more fully aware of the quality

characteristics of these data.

First, the number of children who contribute to the calculation of the

estimate should be determined.If this number is less than 30, the

weighted estimate should be considered to be of unacceptable quality.

For weighted estimates based on sample sizes of 30 or more, users should

determine the coefficient of variation of the estimate and follow the

guidelines below.These quality level guidelines should be applied to

weighted rounded estimates.

All estimates can be considered releasable.However, those of marginal or

unacceptable quality level must be accompanied by a warning to caution

subsequent users.

QUALITY LEVEL GUIDELINES

Quality Level of	Guidelines

Estimate

1.Acceptable	Estimates have:

a sample size of 30 or more, and low coefficients of

variation in the range 0.0% to 16.5%.

No warning is required

2.Marginal	Estimates have:

a sample size of 30 or more, and high coefficients of

 	variation in the range 16.6% to 33.3%.

Estimates should be flagged with the letter M

(or some similar identifier).They should be accompanied

by a warning to caution subsequent users about the high

levels of error, associated with the estimates.

3.Unacceptable	Estimates have:

a sample size of less than 30, or very high coefficients of

variation in excess of 33.3%.

Statistics Canada recommends not to release estimates of

unacceptable quality.However, if the user chooses to do so

then estimates should be flagged with the letter U (or some

similar identifier) and the following warning should

accompany the estimates:

"The user is advised that . . . (specify the data) . . . do not

meet Statistics Canada's quality standards for this

statistical program.

Conclusions based on these data will be unreliable, and

most likely invalid.These data and any consequent findings

should not be published. If the user chooses to publish

these data or findings, then this disclaimer must be

published with the data."

GUIDE08
12.0  Approximate Sampling Variability Tables

In order to supply coefficients of variation which would be applicable to a

wide variety of categorical estimates produced from this microdata file and

which could be readily accessed by the user, a set of Approximate

Sampling Variability Tables has been produced.These "look-up" tables,

which can be found in Appendix 3, allow the user to obtain an approximate

coefficient of variation based on the size of the estimate calculated from the

survey data.

The coefficients of variation (c.v.) are derived using the variance formula

for simple random sampling and incorporate a factor which reflects the

multi-stage, clustered nature of the sample design.This factor, known as

the design effect, was determined by first calculating design effects for a

wide range of characteristics and then choosing from among these a

conservative value to be used in the look-up tables which would then apply

to the entire set of characteristics.

For the NLSCY the sample was constructed taking account of two

important requirements.

•	a sufficient sample was required in each of the 10 provinces to

allow for the production of reliable estimates for all children 0 to

11 years of age.

•	a second requirement was that it was necessary to have a large

enough sample to produce estimates at the Canada level by

seven key age groupings or cohorts: 0 to 11 months, 1, 2 to 3,

4 to 5, 6 to 7, 8 to 9, and 10 to 11 years.

The tables that follow show the design effects, sample sizes and population

counts first by province and then by age groupings which were used to

produce the Approximate Sampling Variability Tables.

Total (0 to 11)	3.6	22,831	4,673,390

All coefficients of variation in the Approximate Sampling Variability Tables

are approximate and, therefore, unofficial.Estimates of actual variance for

specific variables may be obtained from Statistics Canada on a cost-recovery basis.

The use of actual variance estimates would likely result in estimates with lower

variances; for example it could be that estimates in the "unacceptable" category

according to the Approximate Sampling Variability Tables may move up to the

"marginal" category. See Section 11.4 for more information on c.v. release guidelines.

Remember:if the number of observations on which an estimate is based is

less than 30, the weighted estimate should be classified as "unacceptable"

regardless of the value of the coefficient of variation for this estimate.This

is because the formulas used for estimating the variance do not hold true

for small sample sizes.

12.1  How to Use the C.V. Tables for Categorical Estimates

The following rules should enable the user to determine the approximate

coefficients of variation from the Sampling Variability Tables for estimates

of the number, proportion or percentage of the surveyed population

possessing a certain characteristic and for ratios and differences between

such estimates. See Appendix 3 for the actual "Approximate Sampling

Variability Tables".

Rule 1:	Estimates of Numbers Possessing a Characteristic

(Aggregates)

The coefficient of variation depends only on the size of the estimate itself.

On the Sampling Variability Table for the appropriate geographic area or

age group, locate the estimated number in the left-most column of the table

(headed "Numerator of Percentage") and follow the asterisks (if any)

across to the first figure encountered.This figure is the approximate

coefficient of variation.

Rule 2:	Estimates of Proportions or Percentages Possessing a

Characteristic

The coefficient of variation of an estimated proportion or percentage

depends on both the size of the proportion or percentage and the size of

the total upon which the proportion or percentage is based.Estimated

proportions or percentages are relatively more reliable than the

corresponding estimates of the numerator of the proportion or percentage,

when the proportion or percentage is based upon a sub-group of the

population.For example, the proportion of female babies who were of low

birth weight (i.e., less than 2,500 grams) is more reliable than the estimated

number of female babies who were of low birth weight.  Note that in the

tables the c.v.'s decline in value reading from left to right.

When the proportion or percentage is based upon the total population of the

geographic area or age group covered by the table, the c.v. of the proportion

or percentage is the same as the c.v. of the numerator of the proportion or percentage.

In this case, Rule 1 can be used.

When the proportion or percentage is based upon a subset of the total population

(e.g. those in a particular age or sex group within province), reference should be made

to the proportion or percentage (across the top of the table) and to the numerator of the

proportion or percentage (down the left side of the table).  The intersection of the

appropriate row and column gives the coefficient of variation.

Rule 5:	Estimates of Differences of Ratios

In this case, Rules 3 and 4 are combined.  The c.v.'s for the two ratios are first

determined using Rule 4, and then the c.v. of their difference is found using Rule 3.

12.1.1

Examples of using the C.V. tables for Categorical Estimates

The following are examples using actual NLSCY data to illustrate how to apply

the foregoing rules.

Example 1:	Estimates of Numbers Possessing a Characteristic

(Aggregates)

Using NLSCY data, 84,085 babies were estimated to be of low birth weight

(i.e., less than 2,500 grams).  How does the user determine the coefficient

of variation extimate?

(1)	Refer to the c.v. table for children in 0 to 3 age group.

Note that the question on birth weight was applicable

only to children in the 0 to 3 age group and therefore

this is the table that should be used to determine the

c.v. for this estimate.

(2)	The estimated aggregate (84,085) does not appear in

the left-hand column (the 'Numerator of Percentage'

column), so it is necessary to use the figure closest to

it, namely 85,000.

(3)	The coefficient of variation for an estimated aggregate

is found by referring to the first non-asterisk entry on

that row, namely, 7.3%.

(4)	The approximate coefficient of variation of the number

of low birth weight babies is estimated to be 7.3%. The

finding that there were 84,085 babies that were of low

birth weight is "acceptable" and no warning message is

required to produce this estimate since the c.v. for the

estimate is in the 0.0% to 16.5% range.

Example 2 : 	Estimates of Proportions or Percentages Possessing a

Characteristic

Using NLSCY data, it is estimated that 70.8% (59,567/84,085) of low birth

weight babies were born prematurely (gestational age 258 days or less).

How does the user determine the coefficient of variation of this estimate?

(1)	Refer to the c.v. table for children in 0 to 3 age group.

Note that the questions on birth weight and delivery

time were applicable only to children in the 0 to 3 age

group and therefore this is the table that should be

used to determine the c.v. for this estimate.

(2)	Because the estimate is a percentage which is based

on a subset of the total population (i.e., low birth weight

babies who were born prematurely), it is necessary to

use both the percentage (70.8%) and the numerator

portion of the percentage (59,567) in determining the

coefficient of variation.

(3)	The numerator, 59,567, does not appear in the

left-hand column (the 'Numerator of Percentage'

column) so it is necessary to use the figure closet to it,

namely 60,000.Similarly, the percentage estimate

does not appear as any of the column headings, so it is

necessary to use the figure closest to it, 70.0%.

(4)	The figure at the intersection of the row and column

used, namely 5.0% is the coefficient of variation to be

used.

(5)	The approximate coefficient of variation of the percentage

of low birth weight babies who were premature is estimated

 to be 5.0%  The finding that 70.8% of low birth weight babies

were born prematurely is 'acceptable' and no warning message

is required to produce this estimate since the c.v. for the estimate

is in the 0.0% to 16.5% range.

Example 3:	Estimates of Differences Between Aggregates or Percentages

Using NLSCY data, it is estimated that 6.1% (45,690/753,203) of female babies

were born prematurely, while 4.9% (38,395/791,149) of male babies were born

prematurely.  How does the user determine the coefficient of variation of the

difference between these two estimates?

(1)	Using the c.v. table for the 0 to 3 age group in the same manner

as described in example 2 gives the c.v. of the estimate for female

babies as 10.3%, and the c.v. of the estimate for male babies as 10.9%.

12.21

(4)	So the approximate coefficient of variation of the difference between

the estimates is 66.7%.  This estimate is 'unacceptable' since the

coefficient of variation is over 33.3%.  Statistics Canada recommends

not to release estimates of unacceptable quality.

Example 4:	Estimates of Ratios

Suppose now a user  wants to compare the number of low birth weight female

babies to the number of low birth weight male babies.  The user is interested

in comparing these estimates in the form of a ratio.  How does the user determine

the coefficient of variation of this estimate?

The obtained ratio of female babies who were of low birth weight versus male babies

who were of low birth weight is 45,690/38,395 which is 1.19 : 1.  The coefficient of

variation of this estimate is 15.0%, which is "acceptable" and no warning message is

required to produce this estimate since the c.v. for the estimate is in the 0.0% to 16.5%

range.

12.2

How to Use the C.V. Tables to Obtain Confidence Limits

Although coefficients of variation are widely used, a more intuitively meaningful measure of sampling error is the confidence interval of an estimate.  A confidence interval constitutes a statement on the level of confidence that the true value for the population lies within a specified range of values.  For example a 95% confidence interval can be described as follows:

If sampling of the population is repeated indefinitely, each sample leading to a new confidence interval for an estimate, then in 95% of the samples the interval will cover the true population value.

Using the standard error of an estimate, confidence intervals for estimates may be obtained under the assumption that under repeated sampling of the population, the various estimates obtained for a population characteristic are normally distributed about the true population value.  Under this assumption, the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the difference between a sample estimate and the true population value would be less than one standard error, about 95 out of 100 that the difference would be less than two standard errors, and about 99 out 100 that the differences would be less than three standard errors.  These different degrees of confidence are referred to as the confidence levels.

12.2.1

Example of Using the C.V. Tables to Obtain Confidence Limits

12.3

How to Use the C.V. Tables to Do a T-test

Standard errors may also be used to perform hypothesis testing, a procedure for distinguishing between population parameters using sample estimates.  The sample estimates can be numbers, averages, percentages, ratios, etc.  Tests may be performed at various levels of significance, where a level of significance is the probability of concluding that the characteristics are different when, in fact, they are identical.

12.4

Coefficients of Variation for Quantitative Estimates

For quantitative estimates, special tables would have to be produced to determine

their sampling error.  Since most of the variables for the NLSCY are categorical in

nature, this has not been done.

As a general rule, however, the coefficient of variation of a quantitative total will be

larger than the coefficient of variation of the corresponding category estimate

(i.e., the estimate of the number of persons contributing to the quantitative estimate).

If the corresponding category estimate is not releasable, the quantitative estimate

will not be either. For example, the coefficient of variation of the total number of

days of special medical care received for low birth weight babies would be greater

than the coefficient of variation of the corresponding proportion of babies who were

of low birth weight.  Hence if the coefficient of variation of the proportion is not

releasable, then the coefficient of variation of the corresponding quantitative estimate

will also not be releasable.

Coefficients of variation of such estimates can be derived as required for a specific

estimate using a technique known as pseudo replication.  This involves dividing

the records on the microdata files into subgroups (or replicates) and determining

the variation in the estimate from replicate to replicate.  Users wishing to derive

coefficients of variation for quantitative estimates may contact Statistics Canada

for advice on the allocation of records to appropriate replicates and the formulae

to be used in these calculations.

12.5

Release Cut-offs for the NLSCY

In the tables that follow, cut-off numbers are given for NLSCY estimates in

order for them to be of "acceptable", "marginal" or"unacceptable" quality.

Users are encouraged to use these cut-offs when publishing data from the

NLSCY. First a table is given to show the cut-offs at the provincial, regional

and Canada level. Then a table is given to show the cut-offs for the various

age cohorts. An interpretation of what is meant by the various cut-off levels

can be found in Section 11.4.

For example, an estimate for Nova Scotia of 5,000 would fall into the

"marginal" range. This would mean that the estimate should be flagged and

a warning note attached to caution subsequent users about the high level

of error associated with the estimate.

GUIDE09
13.0  Suppression of Confidential Information

It should be noted that the 'Public Use' NLSCY microdata file differs in a

number of important respects from the survey 'master' file held by Statistics

Canada.These differences are the result of actions taken to protect the

anonymity of individual survey respondents. Actions taken to ensure

confidentiality for survey respondents are discussed in Section 13.2. The

methods used to detect confidentiality problems are discussed in Section

13.1.

Users requiring access to information excluded on the microdata file may

purchase custom tabulations or make use of the Remote Access service

described in Section 13.3.

13.1  Methods Used to Protect Confidentiality

Several measures were taken to assess disclosure risk for the NLSCY

public use microdata file. Principal among these was an extensive review

of all variables proposed for the public use microdata file to identify those

variables considered to be "key" or "indirect identifiers". These variables

are ones which may not spontaneously lead to the identification of an

individual on their own but when considered in conjunction with other

variables on the file could lead to disclosure. For example, a child with a

mother tongue of French would not be considered to be a problem with

respect to confidentiality. However if that child has parents with a mother

tongue of Chinese and it is known that the child lives in rural Alberta, then

the risk of disclosure increases. An assessment of risk was made based on

the variables considered to be indirect identifiers.

Due to the hierarchical nature of the file, all analyses to assess risk of

disclosure was carried out at the family level. For example, when the

variables related to language (e.g., mother tongue) were checked for risk of

disclosure, a new variable was created that comprised language

information for all children in the family (up to four) and language for the

parents. When occupation of the parents was considered, the occupation

of both parents was considered simultaneously.

There were essentially three procedures used for these variables to

analyse risk of disclosure.

1/	For cases where similar variables existed for the Census,

Census data were retrieved to see if these variables (or

combination of variables) were unique in the Census.

2/	For other variables, in order to assess risk systematically,

an approach developed for the Census was adapted for the

NLSCY. This general approach uses Census software to

look at three-way combinations of variables designated to

be "indirect identifers". Unusual combinations of these

variables could in theory lead to spontaneous recognition

an individual on the microdata file. There were two

objectives:

•	to identify combinations of variables that result in a

high proportion of uniques i.e., what variables are

"causing" an abnormal number of unique

combinations.

•	to determine what individual records emerge as

uniques in many three-way combinations -- an

indicator that the record in question is quite unusual

and perhaps identifiable.

Because the NLSCY sample consists of approximately

0.5% of Canadian children, one should expect high

proportions of unique combinations when several

desegregated variables are combined. Therefore the goal

was not to ensure that there were no unique combinations

on the microdata file. This would involve making

suppressions or recodes on virtually every record on the

file. Instead the approach taken was to systematically

identify variables and records causing the most problems

and focus attention on them.

3/	Finally, all univariate counts were reviewed in isolation to

assess any potential confidentiality problems. Top and

bottom capping of values or regrouping of values was

sometimes carried out.

Changes and suppressions made on the microdata file as a result of this

analysis are presented in the next section.

13.2  Variables Available on Master File  Not Included on Public Use File

The following is a summary of the actions which have been taken on the

microdata file to reduce the risk of disclosure for individual respondents.

Most of these suppressions are described in Section 9 by content area. A

summary is provided here for convenience.

It should be noted that in the univariate counts given in Section 14, counts

from the master file are presented. This way users can be aware of what is

available on the master file. There is a note on the record layout explaining

the nature of the suppression that was made on the microdata file for the

variable. Most suppressions involved setting a variable to not stated.

 13.2.1 Geographical Variables

•	It was necessary to suppress the province code (AGEHD03)

on some records on the microdata file. This was done for

children who did not live with a parent and children who lived

in a family with a male PMK with no spouse/partner. As a

result the province code was set to Not-Stated for 281

children.

•	Sub-provincial indicators have not been included on the

microdata file. Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) is available

on the NLSCY master file (AGEHD02) as well as an indicator

of urban/rural class size (AGEHD01).

 13.2.2  Family Demographic variables

•	Detailed age in years for the child (AMMCQ01) has been

included on the microdata file (i.e., age for up to four children

in the household). As a result of including detailed age, it was

necessary to suppress collection date. Collection for the

NLSCY took place over an eight month period. By

suppressing collection date this casts some doubt on the

exact ages of the children.

•	It was only possible to have age in ranges for the PMK

(ADMPD06D with ranges 15 to 24, 25 to 29, 30 to 34, 35 to

39, and 40+). Age for the spouse/partner has been

suppressed entirely. The age group for male PMKs not living

with a spouse/partner has been set to not-stated. For female

PMKs not living with a spouse/partner age group has been set

to not-stated for a few cases. In total, age group of the PMK

was set to not-stated for 486 children on the microdata file.

•	There were six sets of triplets on the file. The age of one of

the trio has been altered by one and flow patterns have been

adjusted accordingly.

•	There is a variable on the microdata file indicating the number

of people living in the household (ADMHD02). It has been

capped at 6. The variable indicating the total number of

persons in the economic family has been suppressed.

•	On the microdata file, the sibling variables (total number of

siblings (ADMCD08), number of older siblings (ADMCD09),

number of younger siblings (ADMCD10) and number of

siblings of exactly the same age (ADMCD11)) have all in

effect been made into dichotomous variables. A code "0"

means there is no such sibling and a code "1" means there is

one or more of such a sibling.

•	The variables on age of biological mother at birth of child

(ADMCD18 and D18B)and age of biological father at birth of

child (ADMCD19 and D19B) have been suppressed.

 13.2.3  Ethno-cultural Variables

•	It was necessary to suppress many of the variables in this

section on the microdata file due to confidentiality concerns.

The questions on country of birth, ethnicity and religion have

all been suppressed while frequency of attendance at

religious services has been retained.

•	The questions on mother tongue and language of

conversation are included on the microdata file but only with

aggregated answer categories:

•	English only

•	French only

•	English and French only

•	At least one "other" language indicated.

•	Language of conversation:

-the aggregated variables are labelled as ASDPD05B,

ASDSD05B, and ASDCD05B, for the PMK,

Spouse/partner and Child on the microdata file. There

were a few suppressions for this variable.

•	Mother tongue:

-the aggregated variables are ASDPD06B,

ASDSD06B and ASDCD06B.

•	Immigrant population:

- a derived variable was created to indicate number of

years since first immigrating to Canada. It was possible to

put a grouped version (0 to 4 years, 5 to 9 years, 10 or

more years) of this derived variable on the microdata file

(ASDPD02B, ASDSD02B, ASDPC02B).

13.2.4  Education Variables

•	Due to confidentiality concerns only an aggregated version of

the highest level of education attained by the PMK and

spouse/partner have been included on the microdata file.

These variables (AEDPD02 for the PMK and AEDSD02 for

the spouse/partner) have the following values: less than

secondary, secondary school graduation, beyond high school,

college or university degree (including trade).

On the microdata file this variable has been set to not-stated

for male PMKs who do not live with a spouse/partner.

•	The other education variable included on the microdata file for

parents, is current school status and whether attendance is

full-time or part-time. These variables have been included on

the file for the PMK (AEDPQ05 and Q06), but it was

necessary to suppress them for the spouse/partner. If the

PMK was a lone parent (i.e., did not live with a

spouse/partner), then only the fact as to whether or not she/he

is a student has been retained, while the detail about full-time/part-time

status has been suppressed.

•	For the education variables on the microdata for children, the

variables on language of instruction (AEDCQ12A) and type of

school (AEDCQ08) were set to not-stated in some cases

because of confidentiality concerns. Only a very small number

of records were affected (the variables for 34 children).

 13.2.5  Labour Force Variables

•	It was possible to include industry and occupation codes for

the main job for the PMK and spouse/partner on the microdata

file, but only for fairly large aggregate groupings. There are 21

major groups for occupation and 13 groups for industry.

The Pineo-economic classification code for the main job has

also been included on the microdata file.

In a few cases industry and occupation codes have been set

to not-stated due to confidentiality concerns. For the PMK, the

occupation codes corresponding to religion and mining have

been set to not-stated.

In total:

•	the occupation code was set to not-stated for

131 PMKs and for 181 spouse/partners.

•	the industry code was set to not-stated for 106

PMKs and for 6 spouse/partners.

•	the Pineo code was set to not-stated for 486

PMKs and for 470 spouse/partners.

•	The hourly wage rate for the PMK and spouse/partner have

been included on the microdata file but they have been

capped at $24.00 per hour at the upper end and $5.00 per

hour at the lower end. The input variables used to calculate

the hourly wage rate have been suppressed.

•	It was possible to include the detailed information on all jobs

held by the PMK and spouse/partner in the previous year on

the microdata file, except for the start and end dates of the

jobs. These dates could potentially give an indication of

collection date which was suppressed. However the vectors to

indicate the weeks worked over the previous year for the PMK

and spouse/partner have been included.

 13.2.6  Income Variables

•	The only variable that was allowed to go on the microdata file

for sources of income was the main source of household

income (AINHD02B) in three major categories:

•	wages and salaries, income from self-employment

•	worker's compensation, unemployment insurance,

social assistance

•	other

This variable was suppressed for households where there

was a lone male PMK with no spouse/partner.

•	A variable was created for household and PMK income

(AINHD01A and AINPD02) for all households with the

following categories:

•	less than $10,000

•	$10,000 - $14,999

•	$15,000 - $19,999

•	$20,000 - $29,999

•	$30,000 - $39,999

•	$40,000 or more

•	For households in which there was a couple i.e., the PMK had

a spouse/partner it was permissible to have more detail at the

upper end. Therefore a second income variable (AINHD01B)

was set up with the following categories:

•	less than $10,000

•	$10,000 - $14,999

•	$15,000 - $19,999

•	$20,000 - $29,999

•	$30,000 - $39,999

•	$40,000 - $49,999

•	$50,000 - $59,999

•	$60,000 - $79,999

•	$80,000 or more

This second variable has been set to not-applicable on the

microdata file for all households where the PMK does not

have a spouse/partner.

•	The microdata file includes the ratio of household income to

the low income cut-off for the economic family (i.e., the LICO)

in ranges (<0.75,> 0.75-<0.9,> 0.9-<1.0,> 1.0-<1.1,> 1.1

-<1.25,>1.25).

Again it was not possible to give the exact ratio.

•	The Socio-economic status variable discussed in Section 8.5

has been included on the microdata file. It was necessary to

cap this variable at -2.0 at the lower end and +1.75 at the

upper end.

 13.2.7  Medical Biological Variables

•	On the microdata file it was necessary to cap birth weight

(AMDCQ13B) at the lower end at 1.499 kilograms and less.

•	For multiple births the variable (AMDCQ15) was capped at the

upper end at 2 or more (i.e., twins).

 13.3  Remote Access Requests

During the past few years, as the surveys conducted by Statistics Canada

have grown in scope and the number of variables collected increased

substantially, suppression and collapsing of confidential variables has

become a source of concern for many users of the data. This is particularly

true for users of longitudinal data sets such as the NLSCY.As the number

of variables collected about NLSCY survey respondents grows over time,

more and more is known about these individuals and the protection of the

person's confidentiality becomes a difficult task. At the same time, if the

variables collected cannot be made readily available to users, it becomes

difficult to justify the expense required to collect these variables. Often

these are the very variables that are critical to a complete and

comprehensive analyses of the survey data.

Statistics Canada has been striving to find a solution to this problem. In

order to somewhat alleviate the problem, for the NLSCY, a procedure has

been implemented whereby "place holders" for all confidential variables

have been introduced on microdata file and the metadata associated with

these variables have been provided (i.e., univariate distributions of the

confidential variables at the aggregate level have been included in Section

14). In this way users of NLSCY data can be aware of the confidential

variables which are available on the master file and can contact Statistics

Canada to request special "custom" tabulations on these variables if so

desired.

Unfortunately custom tabulations can be a somewhat iterative and

potentially costly procedure.

For this first release of NLSCY an alternative approach is being

investigated. A service which has been labelled as "Remote Access" is

being proposed as a way to reduce direct involvement by Statistics Canada

personnel in dealing with custom requests. With Remote Access,

researchers gain access to an "enhanced" public use microdata file and

directly formulate and test retrieval code, including queries on confidential

variables. The code for these custom tabulations are transmitted

electronically to Statistics Canada via the INTERNET, and moved into the

Department's internal, secure environment. Next, the code would be

processed on a PC, the results vetted for confidentiality, and shipped back

to the client.

It should be noted that the onus is with the user to submit retrieval

programs which are correct and tested. Statistics Canada will review

results only for confidentiality concerns and will not make any assessment

whatsoever as to whether or not the submitted program has worked

properly. Initially, there should be some discussion to ensure that Statistics

Canada has a copy of the software used in the submitted program.

This service will be offered to researchers who have purchased a NLSCY

microdata file. The microdata file for the NLSCY has been structured as

described above so there are "place holders" for all confidential variables

and the metadata for these variables is available (in Section 14). The

Remote Access Service is still at the pilot stage, so initially the service will

be offered free of change (until the end of 1997). At that time the project will

be evaluated and an appropriate costing algorithm will be developed. The

goal will be to keep the cost at a minimum since the burden of the work will

rely with the user and not Statistics Canada personnel. Users interested in

making use of this service can get in touch with Statistics Canada contacts

mentioned in Section 1.

14.0 Record Layout and Univariates

 14.1 Technical Information

The microdata file for the NLSCY is stored as an ASCII text file. There are

actually two microdata files; a primary file (NLSCYA\PRIMARY.TXT) and a

secondary file (NLSCYA\SECONDRY.TXT). The primary file contains the

variables that will be of most interest to users. The secondary file contains

variables such as imputation flags, variables that were for the most part

suppressed, and detailed information not likely to be of interest in primary

analyses (for example details of the six jobs collected in the Labour Force

Section of the questionnaire).The main reason for making the split into the

two files was due to space.The primary file takes up 24 megabytes and

the secondary file 14 megabytes.

SAS and SPSS record layouts have been included for reading the

microdata files.The SAS record layouts are included in Section 14.2.

The electronic metadata (i.e., this document, record layouts, univariate counts

etc.) is a Windows Help file, which facilitates bookmarking and annotation.

Hypertext links provide navigation through the metadata based on links from the

table of contents to each section or sub-section.  A README file is included with a

list and description of each file on the CD-ROM.

For this first release of NLSCY data, the files consist of complete child

records with data for all of the sections of the various questionnaires. The

data collected for the PMK and spouse/partner have been replicated for

each child in the household. For example if there were three children in the

family, the education variables for the PMK and the spouse have been

written to all three child records. If a section of a questionnaire (or a

complete questionnaire) was not applicable for a child, all of the variables

for that section (or questionnaire) have been set to not-applicable. For

example if the PMK did not have a spouse, the spouse variables have

been set to not-applicable for all children in the family.All variables on

the microdata file which are longer than one byte have been zero-filled.

The record layouts included with the release package declare all variables

as numeric,. except for those used to identify gender ('M' or 'F')

There are a total of 22,831 child records included on the NLSCY microdata

file; i.e.; on both the primary and secondary file. The unit of analysis for all

estimates made from the NLSCY file should refer to the child. The sample

design used for the NLSCY was not self-weighting. When producing

estimates for children, including the production of ordinary statistical tables,

users must apply the proper sampling weight. If proper weights are not

used, the estimates derived from the microdata file cannot be considered to

be representative of the survey population, and will not correspond to those

produced by Statistics Canada. The weight has been included on both the

primary and secondary files and is labelled AWTCW01. This is a cross-sectional

child weight to be used for analysing Cycle 1 data.  It represents the total number

of children represented by the child record for Cycle 1 data.

In subsequent releases both cross-sectional and longitudinal child weights

will be provided.

There are two identification variables on the microdata file(s). One

identifies children (CHILDID) and one identifies households (AIDHD01).

The child ID (CHILDID) is unique for each child on the file and can be used

to link records between the primary and secondary files. In subsequent

releases of NLSCY data in the years to come, the ID for each child

(CHILDID) will remain the same. There will be additional children added to

the file, but once a child is included on the file, the ID for that child will

remain the same. Children on this first microdata file have IDs in the range

100001 to 122831. The first digit (i.e., the '1') indicates that the child came

into the sample in Cycle 1. For children introduced at Cycle 2 the first digit

of CHILDID will be '2' etc.

All children in the same household will have the same household ID

(AIDHD01). Over the ensuing years children will not continue to live in the

same households and will move out, or families may divide. Therefore the

household ID will not remain the same over time. For each cycle there will

be a household ID which can be used to determine which children live in

similar households for that particular cycle.

In Appendix 4, counts are given on all of the categorical variables included

on the microdata file. Both unweighted and weighted counts are given for

each variable. For continuous variables only ranges of values are given. It

should be noted that the counts that have been provided are actually

counts from the NLSCY 'master' file held by Statistics Canada. Certain

suppressions and grouping of values for certain variables were required for

the public use file in order to protect the anonymity of survey respondents.

Actions taken to ensure the confidentiality of survey respondents are

summarized in Section 13.2. Counts from the master file have been

provided so that users are aware of the confidential variables that are

available on the master file and can contact Statistics Canada to request

special "custom" tabulations on these variables if desired or make use of

the Remote Access service discussed in Section 13.3. For variables which

were suppressed or altered for the public use file, there is an indication on

the record layout explaining what was done.

The NLSCY microdata file documentation system has employed certain

standards to label variable names and values. The intent is to make

interpretation of the data more straight-forward for the user. These

standards and examples are provided in Section 6.5 of this guide.

Appendix 1 - Content for Release 1 and 2

Not all the information collected for the first cycle of the NLSCY are

included in this first microdata file. The amount of information collected was

so extensive a decision was made to have two releases rather than waiting

for all of the data to be processed. The second release will be in 1997. The

notable sections to be included in the second release are health variables

for the child and the parents, the custody history of the child, and data

collected from the teacher and the principal. A complete list of the sections

included in the first and second release can be found below.

Appendix 2 - The Labour Force Survey

Survey Coverage

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a monthly household survey carried out

by Statistics Canada in approximately 59,000 households throughout the

country.The LFS is used to produce monthly estimates of employment,

self-employment and unemployment.Information on variables such as

industry and occupation of employment, educational attainment, ethnic

origin, and country of birth is obtained.Approximately 97% of the

population 15 years of age and over is covered in the survey.Excluded

from the LFS are the populations in the Yukon and the Northwest

Territories, residents of Indian Reserves, full-time members of the

Canadian Armed Forces, and residents of institutions, such as chronic care

hospitals, prisons and child residential treatment facilities.Civilian

members of the Armed Forces' households and native people living "off-reserve" are captured by

the survey.

Sample Design

The Labour Force Survey employs a stratified, multistage probability

sample design based on an area frame in which dwellings (residences)

are the sampling units.All eligible individuals who occupy one of the

selected dwellings are part of the LFS sample.For design purposes, each

province of Canada constitutes an independent sample and is divided into

two parts composed of large cities and rural areas plus small urban

centres.Through stratification, these parts are broken down into clusters

of dwellings, e.g., city blocks, from which dwellings are selected.

It should be noted that at the time of sample selection, no information is

known about the persons living within a selected dwelling, who are

collectively known as a household.It is the dwelling, not the household,

that is chosen for the sample.If the household moves, whoever is living in

the dwelling at the time of the interview is included in the sample.

Each dwelling is retained in the LFS sample for six consecutive months

and no substitution of dwellings takes place in the event that information

cannot be obtained from a dwelling.The entire sample is divided into six

representative parts or rotation groups.Each rotation group contains some

10,000 households, representing about 20,000 individuals.The rotation of

dwellings in the sample is carried out so that one-sixth of the sample is

changed each month. In other words, each month one-sixth of the

dwellings, having completed the six month stay in the sample, are replaced

by new dwellings in the same or a similar area.

Dwellings which are currently in the sample are referred to as the active

sample.Dwellings which are no longer part of the sample are called

rotates out.

The LFS sample frame has been recently redesigned to incorporate new

elements.This new frame was phased in as of October 1994.

LFS Collection Methodology

Data collection for the LFS is carried out during the week following the LFS

reference week which is normally the week containing the 15th day of the

month; thus collection is usually the third week of the month.Statistics

Canada interviewers, who are part-time employees hired and trained

specifically to carry out the survey, contact each of the dwellings in the

sample, through personal or telephone interviews, to obtain the required

information.The interviews are carried out using Computer-Assisted

Personal Interviewing (CAPI).

Each interviewer contacts approximately 65 designated dwellings per

month, one-sixth of which will be "new" dwellings.Each of these "new"

dwellings is visited personally by the interviewer who collects information

for all household members from one knowledgeable and responsible

member.Subsequent interviews may be conducted by telephone provided

the knowledgeable and responsible member agrees to this procedure.

Currently, approximately 85% of the LFS interviews after the first month are

conducted by telephone.

Using the LFS Frame for the NLSCY

One advantage of using the LFS survey frame for other surveys is that

each rotation group of the LFS provides a sample capable of producing

representative statistics for Canada and each province.In addition, the

household composition information collected for the LFS is available to

select a sample. Furthermore, LFS interviewers are available to do surveys

when they are not working on the LFS and are familiar with the CAPI

collection methodology.Because of these factors, the LFS frame was

chosen for the NLSCY.

Depending on the level of reliability required, the budget and the available

collection capacity, from one to six active rotation groups can be surveyed

in a non-LFS collection week.This capacity can be expanded by the

addition of dwellings which have rotated out prior to the survey reference

month.In theory, this approach can be used to augment a survey's sample

infinitely.In practice, however, a combination of cost and statistical

reliability limit the additional "take" to roughly three times the regular LFS

sample, that is about 15 rotation groups.With regard to the NLSCY, nine

rotation groups were sufficient to cover all age groups; a combination of

active rotation groups and rotates out were used.

The LFS Household Record collects basic demographic information such

as age, sex, marital status, educational attainment, economic family

association and relationship to head of economic family for all members of

all households identified in selected dwellings.The age data from this

record were used to facilitate the selection of dwellings with children for the

NLSCY.This alleviated much of the need to screen dwellings to determine

if children under 12 resided in them.

HHINC
With this procedure, the SES score for single-parent families will tend to be lower because household income, on average, will be lower. However, the SES score will properly reflect the level of education and the occupational prestige of the single parent. Nevertheless, for most regression analyses where SES is used as a control variable, it would be useful to include a dummy variable denoting whether the family was a single- or two-parent family.


Household income
Household income has been imputed. For this reason the previous tables with income data did not show missing values. However there was more non-response to the math test for the children where the PMK refused to give a household income.


Integrated
For the Integrated Component, it was often not even known if  non-responding households had children or not. If there were children, the household should have been considered to be a non-respondent to the NLSCY. If there were no children it should have been considered to be out of scope and not included in the response rate calculation. In order to estimate a response rate for the Integrated Component a certain proportion of these households were estimated to have children and therefore labelled as non-responding

 Scores on this variable increase as the child's grade level and ability increase. For this reason, it is highly recommended

that the scale scores be used in all analyses involving growth over time.

Note:	A blended family refers to a couple census family (married or common-law couples) with two or more children, one of whom does not share the same natural and/or adoptive parents as the other child(ren). This would indicate that the child has half and/or step siblings living in the household. (Foster children are not included in the census family). In the derivation of blended, intact, step and type of step family derived variables (ADMCD14, 15, 16 & 17) if a child is the biological child of one parent and the adoptive child of the other parent then this child is treated like the step child of the adoptive parent. However, if a child is the adoptive child of both parents, then this child is treated the same as a biological child of both parents.

Note:	This factor score was derived using the unweighted items.  In order to calculate the scores,

we reduced the item values by 1  (ie. a value of 1 ('yes') was recoded to 0, and 2 was recoded to 1).

This was done in order  to associate a value of zero for the lowest score.

The values were reversed for ADPPQ12F, ADDPQ12H and  ADDPQ12J.

The total score varies between 0 and 36, a high score indicating the presence of depression symptoms.

The Cronbach Alpha value for this factor score is 0.82.

Note:	This factor score was derived using the unweighted items (AFNHQ01A to Q01L).

 In order to calculate the scores, we reduced the item values by 1  (ie. a value of 1

 ('strongly agree') was recoded to 0, 2 was recoded to 1, 3 to 2, and 4 to 3).  This was done

 in order to associate a value of zero for the lowest score. The values were reversed for

 AFNHQ01A, AFNHQ01C, AFNHQ01E, AFNHQ01G, AFNHQ01I and AFNHQ01K.

The total score varies between 0 and 36, a high score indicating family dysfunction.

The Cronbach Alpha value for this factor score is 0.88.

The score ranges from 0 to 24, where 0 means the absence of a problem and 24 the highest possible score with respect to problems. Before calculating the score, the order of values was reversed for items APACQ1, APACQ2, APACQ3, APACQ4, and APACQ5 (i.e., 5 was recoded to 1, 4 was recoded to 2, etc.). Then all values were rescaled to 0-4 by subtracting one from the value for all 6 items. Finally the sum of these transformed values was taken across the 6 items.

NOTE: FOR CORRECT USAGE OF THESE TABLES PLEASE REFER TO NLSCY USER'S HANDBOOK AND MICRODATA GUIDE (CHAPTER 12)

CONTINUE WITH PROVINCIAL SAMPLING VARIABILITY


child
Since the PMK was in most cases the mother of the child, in this document the PMK will be referenced as "she".


disclosure
It should be noted that any variable considered to be a direct identifier such as the name, address or telephone number of a respondent has been suppressed on the microdata file.


economic family
For the NLSCY, an economic family is defined as all family members related by blood, marriage, common-law relationship or adoption; foster children are considered to be part of the economic family.


family
In subsequent releases of the NLSCY data, a series of data base files will be released for each section of the questionnaire. A record will exist for the section only if the section was applicable. The appropriate software will be provided so that users can easily link variables across files. This will be a far more efficient way to store and manipulate NLSCY data.


final weight
Do not include: "don't know", "refusal" and "not-stated" codes in this tabulation (i.e., records for which the number of days of special care is code  997, 998 or 999). For cases where the number of days is not-applicable (i.e., 996) because no care was received recode the number of days to 0 to perform the calculation.


frame
In Québec the sample drawn for the integrated sample was a sub-sample of dwellings from a 1993 health survey (Enquête Sociale et de Santé) conducted by Santé Québec.


household
This particular definition of SES was proposed by Dr. Douglas Willms, Atlantic Centre for Policy Research in Education. University of New Brunswick.


household.
For reasons of response burden, it was decided that a maximum of two children per Cycle 1 household will be followed longitudinally for Cycle 2.


ifference
Only differences that were significant at the 95% confidence level are reported


individual
For a more complete discussion of units of analyses for longitudinal studies see Duncan, G.D. and Hill M.S. (1985). Conceptions of Longitudinal Households: Fertile or Futile? Journal of Economic and Social Measurement 13 :361-365.


manner
In cases where the PMK  had not graduated from high school but had completed a post-secondary degree or certificate, then the post-secondary degree or certificate took precedence. For example, if the PMK had completed only grade 10, but had masters, then AEDPD04 was set to 18.


parent
These numbers for the PMK and spouse/partner are based on unweighted data.


parents
Foster children and children living with only one parent are not included in step, blended or intact families. In the derivation of blended, intact and step families, if a child was the adoptive child of one parent and the biological child of the other parent, then this child was treated like a step child, and thus the family labelled as a step family. In other Statistics Canada publications children of this type are treated as if they were biological children of both parents.


partial information
The reason for the high number of partials for the parent questionnaire was because of one of the questions that chosen as a key item. This item was question 6A from the Neighbourhood Section - "If there is a problem around here, the neighbours get together to deal with it." A fairly high number of parents answered


popup1

The reference date for the calculation of age was as of the day of the interview.  Collection took place from November 1994 to June 1995.


possibilities
It should be noted that while variables do exist for various units of analyses (i.e., the PMK, the spouse/partner and the household), it will only be possible to produce "child estimates" from the NLSCY microdata file. The characteristics of the PMK, spouse/partner and household can be used to describe attributes of the child. For example it will be possible to estimate the number of children living in a household with low income, or the number of children for whom the PMK has scored high on the depression scale etc. However it will not be possible to produce estimates of the number of low income households or depressed PMKs. This issue is discussed further in Section 8.2.


premature
Do not include premature babies for which the number of days was don't know, refusal, or not-stated in this calculation (i.e., 997, 998 or 999).


problem
The differences in scores for children with attitude problems, physical problems and distraction problems are all significant at the 95% confidence level.


problems
There were only 12 children for which there was a room environment problem. Therefore the numbers were too small to draw any conclusions about this factor.


response rate
One reason for this, it that when the June follow-up for non-respondents was carried out, the response rate for these provinces was already quite high. Therefore it was agreed that for these provinces only, the follow-up could be done completely by telephone. This precluded administering the PPVT-R since it had to be administered in person.

Note:	This factor score was derived using the unweighted items (ASPHQ01A to Q10F).  In order to calculate the

scores, we reduced the item values by 1  (ie. a value of 1 ('strongly agree') was recoded to 0, and 2 was recoded

 to 1 etc.). This was done in order to associate a value of zero for the lowest score.  The values were reversed for

 ASPHQ01A, ASPHQ01D and ASPHQ01E.

The total score varies between 0 and 18, a high score indicating the presence of social support.

The Cronbach Alpha value for this factor score is 0.82.

stability of employment
It should be noted that there may be some small problems with the way this third measure was derived. SLID, for now, only have absence information at the job level. It could be that a person has an absence from one job while working at another job. As a result there could be a very slight under-estimate of the number of weeks the respondent worked for pay or profit.


third employment
Temporary layoffs were not subtracted since they were not considered as employment in the second measure - number of weeks employed.


unweighted
Weighted data could not be used since the weights developed for the NLSCY are for children only, and not for families.
