SWIP - Causes of death 1978-1986

The Swedish income panel was originally set up in the beginning of the 90s to make studies of how immigrants assimilate in the Swedish labour market possible. It consists of large samples of foreign-born and Swedish-born persons. Income information from registers is added for nearly 40 years. In addition income information relating to spouses is also available as well as for a subset of mothers and fathers. This makes it possible to construct measures of household income based on a relatively narrow definition. However, starting in 1998 there is also more information making it possible to include children over 18 and their incomes in the family. By matching with some different additional registers information has been added for people who have been unemployed or involved in labour market programmes during the 90s, on causes of deaths for people who have deceased since 1978 and on recent arrived immigrants from various origins. It has turned out that the data-base is quite useful for analysing research-questions other than originally motivating construction of the panel. The panel has been used for cross country comparisons of immigrants in the labour market and to analyse income mobility for different breakdowns of the population, and analyses the development in cohort income. There have been analyses of social assistance receipt among immigrants as well as studies of intergeneration mobility of income, the labour market situation of young immigrants and the second generation of immigrants. On-going work includes evaluation of labour market training programmes and studies of early retirement among immigrants. Planned work includes studies of the economic transition from child to adulthood during the 80s and 90s as well as studies of how frequent immigrant children are subject to measures under the Social Service Act and the Care of Youth Persons Act. The potentials of the Swedish Income Panel can be understood if one compares it with better known income-panels in other countries. For example SWIP covers more years and has a larger sample than the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). On the other hand, the fact that information is obtained from registers only makes this Swedish panel less rich in variables. There are striking parallels between the Gothenburg Income Panel and the labour market panel at the Centre for Labour Market and Social Research in Aarhus for the Danish population.瑞典收入面板（Swedish Income Panel，以下简称SWIP）始建于20世纪90年代初，初衷是支撑移民在瑞典劳动力市场的同化效应研究。该数据集包含大量外国出生与瑞典本土出生人群的样本，涵盖近40年的登记收入信息。此外，还可获取部分样本的配偶收入信息，以及部分父母的收入数据，这使得基于相对狭义定义构建家庭收入核算指标成为可能。但自1998年起，新增的信息可将18岁以上子女及其收入纳入家庭收入核算范畴。通过与多类补充行政登记库匹配，该数据集补充了以下内容：20世纪90年代期间失业或参与劳动力市场项目的人群数据、1978年以来已故人群的死亡原因数据，以及不同来源地的新近入境移民数据。 后续研究发现，该数据集可用于诸多超出初始构建目标的研究议题，应用价值远超最初设想。SWIP已被用于劳动力市场移民的跨国比较研究、不同人口分组的收入流动性分析，以及同批队列人群的收入动态研究。已有研究利用该数据集分析了移民的社会救助申领情况、收入代际流动性、年轻移民的劳动力市场处境，以及移民第二代的相关议题。当前正在开展的研究包括劳动力市场培训项目评估，以及移民群体的提前退休情况研究。未来规划的研究方向包括：20世纪80年代与90年代期间儿童向成年阶段的经济转型研究，以及移民子女依据《社会服务法》与《青少年照料法》接受相关帮扶措施的频次研究。 若将SWIP与其他国家的知名收入面板进行对比，便可明晰其研究潜力。例如，相较于德国社会经济面板（German Socio-Economic Panel，简称GSOEP），SWIP的覆盖年限更长、样本规模更大。但另一方面，由于该数据集仅依赖登记库获取信息，其变量丰富度相对有限。哥德堡收入面板与丹麦奥胡斯劳动力市场与社会研究中心面向丹麦人群构建的劳动力市场面板之间，存在诸多显著相似之处。
