The topical guide presents detailed information on major subject areas and variables in the NLSY79 survey. Data are now available from Round 1 (1979 survey year) to Round 29 (2020 survey year). Interviews were conducted annually from 1979 to 1994 and on a biennial basis thereafter. There are currently 9,964 eligible respondents after the two subsamples were dropped. The military oversample was discontinued after the 1984 survey, and the economically disadvantaged nonblacks and non-Hispanics oversample was discontinued in 1990. The cohort began with oversamples of Hispanics, economically disadvantaged nonblacks and non-Hispanics, and youths in the military. Data collected from the NLSY79 respondents chronicle these changes and provide researchers with a unique opportunity to study the life-course experiences of American men and women. The survey respondents were ages 14 to 22 when first interviewed in 1979. During the years since that first survey, the participants in this cohort typically have finished their schooling, moved out of their parents' homes, made decisions on continuing education and training, entered the labor market, served in the military, married, started families of their own, and thought about their retirement expectations. The NLSY79 is a nationally representative sample of 12,686 young men and women born during the years 1957 through 1964 and living in the United States when the survey began.
