WELCOME TO YDS DATA ARCHIVE CODEBOOK


INSTRUCTIONS

You may access information about the YDS surveys in two ways.

Domain List:      To see the questions asked in each variable domain (for example, education, employment, etc.), click the section title below under each wave's codebook. You can see each of the question(s) and response options. By clicking on the specific questions that interest you, you will reach the cross-waves listing to find the waves (years) it was included in the survey.

Cross-wave Variable List:      Or you can go directly to the links on the left side of this page to examine the availability of the questions across waves. You may then click on the section number (e.g, E1) for each wave to see the actual questions asked and the response options.


The YDS is a public use data set, available from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan: https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/studies/24881. If you have questions, contact Jeylan Mortimer
