Book Description

While much has been written on migration and economic growth, a longitudinal data source has become generally available to researchers only in recent years. The Social Security Administration and the Tennessee Valley Authority jointly sponsored the symposium reported in these proceedings in an attempt to bring together researchers and others interested in using the Social Security Administration's Continuous Work History Sample (CWHS) in socioeconomic analysis. The papers in this proceedings represent the first attempt to formalize and publish the most recent research results based on the CWHS and other data covering a rather broad spectrum of subjects.
