Current Population Survey, September 2005: Volunteer Supplement

<p>This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey on the topic of volunteer service, which was administered as a supplement to the September CPS questionnaire. The USA Freedom Corps jointly sponsored the supplemental questions for September 2005. The CPS, administered monthly, is a labor force survey providing current estimates of the economic status and activities of the population of the United States. Specifically, the CPS provides estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. Data from the CPS are provided for the week prior to the survey. All persons eligible for the labor force items of the basic CPS were also eligible for the volunteer supplement. Proxy responses were allowed if attempts for a self-response were unsuccessful. The supplement contained questions about the household member's participation in volunteer service from September 1, 2004, to the date of the interview. Household members were queried about the frequency of volunteer activity, the kinds of organizations they volunteered with, the types of activities they chose, whether any volunteering was done in a foreign country, and involvement in their community. Demographic variables include age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and income. (Source: ICPSR, retrieved 06/23/2011)</p>

本数据集由两套调查问卷的应答数据构成：其一为基础版当前人口调查（Current Population Survey, CPS），其二为作为2005年9月CPS问卷补充模块的志愿服务主题调查。2005年9月的补充问卷由美国自由服务队（USA Freedom Corps）联合主办。CPS为月度实施的劳动力调查，旨在提供美国人口经济状况与就业活动的当期估算数据。具体而言，CPS可估算总就业人数（含农业与非农业就业）、非农业自营劳动者、家政服务员及非农业家庭企业中的无酬协助者、薪资雇员，并可估算总失业人数。CPS数据对应调查前一周的相关情况。所有符合基础CPS劳动力调查项目参与资格的受访者，同样具备参与志愿服务补充调查的资格。若受访者无法自行完成作答，允许委托他人代答。补充问卷包含关于受访家庭成员在2004年9月1日至访谈当日期间参与志愿服务情况的问题。问卷询问了家庭成员的志愿服务频率、所参与的志愿服务组织类型、所选活动类别、是否在境外开展志愿服务，以及社区参与情况。人口统计学变量涵盖年龄、性别、种族、西班牙裔血统、婚姻状况、退伍军人身份、受教育程度、职业与收入。（数据来源：ICPSR，检索于2011年6月23日）
