"This file, also known as the Annual
Demographic File, provides the usual monthly labor force data, but in
addition, provides supplemental data on work experience, income,
noncash benefits, and migration. Comprehensive information is given on
the employment status, occupation, and industry of persons 15 years old
and over....Data on employment and income refer to the preceding year,
although demographic data refer to the time of the
survey....Characteristics such as age, sex, race, household
relationship, and Hispanic origin are shown for each person in the
household enumerated."
The file structure is hierarchical and the
sort sequence is by census state code and metropolitan statistical area
codes. File size for 1988 is 295,459 logical records; for 1989,
275,770 logical records; for 1990, 299,576 logical records; and for

This
publication describes a multidimensional household projection model
called LIPRO 2.0. The LIPRO computer program, which is included with
the publication in diskette form, is written in Borland's Turbo Pascal
5.0 and can be run on personal computers or compatibles using MS/DOS.
The program requires a mathematical coprocessor, a hard disk, and a
memory of 640 kb. About half of the book is devoted to the
methodological and computational aspects of the LIPRO model.
Additional chapters present an illustrative application of the model to
household structure and social security in the
Netherlands.
