Survey Schedule
Survey Schedule
Phase I
During the first phase of the project in 1992-1993, the RLMS
collected four rounds of data. This periodicity represents a compromise
among the interests of the three major parties and partially relates to
the availability of funds from both the Russian and US sides. Many of
the events that researchers would like to study using RLMS
data--including fertility, abortion, family planning, migration,
separation and divorce, and occupational transition--could be measured
adequately by a survey fielded at less frequent intervals. Others, such
as time use, health, nutritional status, and diet benefit greatly from
frequent data collection. Also, with frequent data collection one can
study short- as well as intermediate-term responses to Russian reforms
and other social changes.
