Abstract This symposium will showcase life course and aging research that is possible using freely available integrated census and survey data available via IPUMS. This session is organized by the Network for Data-Intensive Research on Aging (NDIRA) initiative at the University of Minnesota’s Life Course Center. NDIRA seeks to build and support an interdisciplinary community of scientists leveraging powerful data resources in innovative ways to understand health outcomes at older ages, as well as the demography and economics of aging. The session features papers that illustrate how to examine aging-related topics including health at older ages, work and socioeconomic conditions, and living conditions with a common thread of examining heterogeneity within groups. These papers all leverage freely available census and nationally-representative survey data, highlighting the potential value of these data for studying aging and the life course. By combining papers on an array of topics from a variety of data sources, this symposium highlights exemplar papers that demonstrate the types of novel research possible using public use census and survey data that NDIRA seeks to foster.

This study aims to answer the question of why during the COVID-19 pandemic the interest in entrepreneurship among young Indonesians is very high. The research seeks to uncover entrepreneurial intentions with an analytical focus on the current dimensions of knowledge, personality, values, and entrepreneurial orientation. The survey was conducted online, attended by 153 students of Communication Science at Tadulako University. The results of the survey data analysis show that in line with efforts to incorporate entrepreneurship courses into the curriculum, entrepreneurial intentions among students are quite high. While the university curriculum is focused on preparing students to become professionals, the Covid-19 situation has encouraged students to contribute to overcoming social problems through social entrepreneurship.

Children's Learning

Using data from the Understanding America Study conducted by researchers at the University of Southern California, I examined parental preferences in a variety of circumstances in order to better understand parental choices and preferences during a pandemic. The results of this study demonstrate that groups of parents from different backgrounds have very different preferences for their children’s learning modality during the COVID-19 pandemic. The differences in racial backgrounds and educational levels were particularly notable because much of the discourse surrounding schooling in a pandemic has tended to focus on in-person instruction, a minority desire for most groups of parents surveyed.

University employability awards, in the UK particularly, aim to assist students to develop career related skills and attributes and thus increase their potential to achieve graduate level employment. Self-report quantitative and qualitative data were collected at intervals via questionnaires, interviews and focus groups from two cohorts (N = 212) of a well-established career development and employability award at a large civic UK university. Findings indicated increases in confidence and aspiration, and in the ability to articulate and apply skills and abilities; also that the award may convey similar benefits to work experience. Survey data from award completers indicated that they had changed their career related behaviour, and students who have completed the award show a consistent small increase in their level of graduate employment when compared to the graduate employment figure for the university as a whole in the UK university destinations data.Employability related values, attitudes and behaviour may all change as a result of award experience. Reported changes implied a sense of improved resourcefulness. It is hypothesised that the award may enhance student employability somewhat via development of psychosocial resources, producing a shift in the student’s perception of self and identity.

This research note describes an under-used collection of papers which document interwar income, nutrition and health in Britain which were created in the administration of the Carnegie Dietary Survey by John Boyd-Orr in the Rowett Institute with funding from the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust. The survey was conducted in 16 rural and urban places across England and Scotland between 1937–9, and are now held at the Specialist Collections Centre at the University of Aberdeen. While the importance of the survey in informing knowledge about nutrition and the development of rationing has been acknowledged in the field of social medicine, the survey data has primarily been used by epidemiological scientists and economic historians. After outlining the survey's past influences and uses, this item details the possible ways the data could be used by social, economic and local population historians.
