This code book contains frequency distributions of variables from two surveys, the School Study in 1966 and the Family Study in 1968, that constitute something of a backbone of the project. They provide "subjective" data on attitudes, preferences, and plans and data on more "objective" conditions as the interviewees saw them and cared to report them. With the exception of a final survey, all other variables than those presented in this volume stem from registers and files of governmental micro data, starting from the very beginning with delivery journals.

Frequency distributions of variables based on some of these data series from Code book I are given in this volume. Remaining register and file data and the final survey that was accomplished in 1985 and concern the cohort member’s use of mass media, his and her health, education, occupation and employment of the spouse, will be given in subsequent code books.

This Code book contains frequency distributions of additional variables from data series that stem from the remaining register and file data and the final survey - The Culture and Leisure Survey - that was carried out in 1985 and looked at the cohort member’s use of mass media, his/her health, education, occupation and employment of spouse.

This code book contains frequency distributions on three different categories of variables; (1) family related data, (2) health related data and (3) social policy related data. In the former category, one finds data on the twins and siblings of the cohort members but in addition also the cohort members’ own child deliveries. The second category includes health data gathered from the Stockholm county health register but also more specific mortality data. The latter category includes data on sickness benefits, welfare recipency and the cohort members’ income and higher educational attainments. Moreover, the codebook also includes a presentation of the macro-level area data between the years of 1960-1985.
