    Description: The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 
(NLSY97) includes 8,984 respondents who were born in the years 1980 
through 1984 and lived in the United States when the survey began in 
1997. The primary objective of the survey is to study the transition 
from full-time schooling to the establishment of careers and families. 
The longitudinal focus of the survey requires information to be 
collected about the same individuals over many years in order to trace 
their education, training, work experience,

fertility, income, and program participation. One of the goals of the 
Department of Labor is to produce and disseminate timely, accurate, and 
relevant information about the U.S. labor force. The Bureau of Labor 
Statistics contributes to this goal by gathering information about the 
labor force and labor market and disseminating it to policymakers and 
the public so that participants in those markets can make more 
informed, and thus more efficient, choices. Research based on the 
NLSY97 contributes to the formation of national policy in the areas of 
education, training, employment programs, and school-to-work 
transitions. For additional information, see related notice published 
in the Federal Register on January 5, 2010 (Vol. 75, page 450).

Departmental Clearance Officer.
