Study on U.S. Parents' Divisions of Labor During COVID-19, Wave 1

To help provide estimates that are more representative of U.S. partnered parents, we also constructed weights. Weight variables are included to be representative of U.S. parents who reside with a romantic partner (married or cohabiting) and a child aged 18 or younger based on age, race/ethnicity, and gender. National estimates were obtained using data from the 2020 Current Population Survey (CPS). Weights were calculated using an iterative raking method, such that the full sample in each data file matches the nationally representative CPS data in regard to the gender, age, and racial/ethnic distributions within the data. This variable is labeled CPSweightW1 in the Wave 1 dataset.

为获取更具美国已婚/同居父母群体代表性的估算结果，我们构建了权重变量。设置此类权重变量的目的是，使样本能够代表基于年龄、种族/族裔与性别划分的、与浪漫伴侣（已婚或同居）及18岁及以下子女共同居住的美国父母群体，以实现全国代表性。全国性估算结果通过2020年当前人口调查（Current Population Survey, CPS）的数据计算得到。权重采用迭代raking方法进行计算，使得各数据文件中的全样本在性别、年龄及种族/族裔分布上，与具有全国代表性的CPS数据保持一致。该变量在第一波（Wave 1）数据集中被标注为CPSweightW1。
