DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the first component of a three-part project to create a massive microdata resource comprising the entire population of the United States in 1940. The database will provide the earliest information available on educational attainment, migration status, labor force status, and wage and salary income, hours worked per week, and weeks worked last year. Accordingly, it will provide the baseline for critical analyses of social and economic change. Researchers will be able to link recent health surveys, administrative records, and the national death index to the 1940 database, allowing study of the impact of early life conditions-including socioeconomic status, parental education, and family structure-on later health and mortality. The database will cover the entire population with full geographic detail, providing contextual information on childhood neighborhood characteristics, labor-market conditions, and environmental conditions. The new database will make a permanent and substantial addition to the nation's statistical infrastructure, and will have far-reaching implications for research across the social and behavioral sciences. The project involves (1) transcription of 7.8 billion keystrokes of data describing the demographic and economic characteristics of all individuals, families, households, and group quarters present in the United States in 1940; (2) evaluation of data quality through random blind verification and comparison with published census returns; (3) development of data dictionaries to convert approximately 2.6 million different open-ended census responses into numeric classifications compatible with previous and subsequent census data; (4) data cleaning, including editing and imputation of inconsistent and missing data values; (5) development of documentation, including full descriptions of data processing methods, detailed analysis of comparability issues, and comprehensive machine-processable metadata; (6) incorporation of the database into the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) data access system for free dissemination to the scientific community; and (7) implementation of secure data protection and preservation policies. The proposed work will be carried out by a team of highly-skilled researchers with unparalleled expertise and experience in large-scale data creation, integration, and dissemination. The project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center with the nation's largest producers of genealogical data and the National Archives and Records Administration. This collaboration allows a highly cost-effective use of scarce resources for shared infrastructure for population and health research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个由三部分组成的项目的第一个组成部分，旨在创建大量的微型资源，包括1940年美国的整个人口。数据库将提供有关最早的信息，可提供有关教育程度，迁移状况，劳动力状况，劳动力状况以及工资和工资和工资和工资收入，每周工作的工作以及上周工作的时间。因此，它将为社会和经济变革的批判性分析提供基准。研究人员将能够将最近的健康调查，行政记录和国家死亡指数与1940年数据库联系起来，从而研究早期生活条件的影响，包括社会经济地位，父母教育以及后期的健康和死亡率。该数据库将拥有完整的地理细节覆盖整个人群，并提供有关儿童邻里特征，劳动力市场状况和环境状况的上下文信息。新的数据库将对国家的统计基础设施产生永久性和实质性的补充，并将对整个社会和行为科学的研究具有深远的影响。该项目涉及（1）描述了1940年在美国所有个人，家庭，家庭和群体宿舍的人口和经济特征的78亿击重数据的转录； （2）通过随机盲目验证和与已发表的人口普查收益进行比较来评估数据质量； （3）开发数据词典将大约260万不同的开放式普查响应转换为与以前和后续人口普查数据兼容的数字分类； （4）数据清洁，包括不一致和缺少数据值的编辑和插定； （5）文档的开发，包括对数据处理方法的完整描述，可比性问题的详细分析以及全面的机器处理元数据； （6）将数据库纳入集成的公共用途微型数据系列（IPUMS）数据访问系统，以免费向科学界传播； （7）实施安全的数据保护和保存政策。拟议的工作将由一支高技能的研究人员团队进行，在大规模数据创建，集成和传播方面具有无与伦比的专业知识和经验。该项目是明尼苏达人口中心与美国最大的家谱数据生产国以及国家档案和记录管理局的合作。这项合作允许将稀缺的资源用于人口和健康研究的共享基础设施。
