SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDENTS: OCTOBER 1972

INTRODUCTION

This report presents new information onrecent changes in rates of school participationin the United States by age, sex, marital status,race, and income, and changes in field of studyof college students. Information is also presentedfor the first time on the enrollment status ofpersons 35 years old and over, and on the enroll-ment level of persons of Spanish origin. Theinformation presented in this report was derivedfrom a supplement to the Census Bureau's October1972 Current Population Survey and refers to thecivilian noninstitutional population.

ENROLLMENT LEVEL

In October 1972, 61.1 million persons, or 31percent of the population of the United Statesover two years old, were attending a regularschool. Total enrollment, including persons 35years old and over, was:

Nursery school 1,283,000Kindergarten and elementary.. 35,395,000High school 15,252,000College 9,096,000

Graduate school 1,670,000

The number of persons enrolled in elementaryschool (grades K through 8) declined by about647,000' during the past year because of a de-crease in the number of persons at elementaryschool ages. High school enrollment remainedunchanged and college enrollment for personsunder 35 years old was unchanged for men butthere is some evidence that it increased slightlyfor women.

Persons 35 Years Old and Over

A large number of persons well past the usualage for school attendance return to school orcollege to complete degrees not finished or toacquire new training for different jobs. About900,000 students 35 years old and over were inschool in October 1972; of these, 85 percent werein college, including about 365,000 men and 418,000women. Approximately 180,000 persons enrolled

'Based on 1970 census-based population controls

in 1971 and 1972. The figures in this paragraphrefer to persons under 35 years old.

in school were over 50 years old. At ages 40 andover women are more likely to be enrolled inschool than are men. About 9 percent of all the9.1 million college students (and 18 percent ofthose enrolled beyond the fourth year of college)were 35 years old and over.

Older students are much more likely to beattending college part-time than are youngerstudents. Students 35 years old and over makeup only about 2 percent of full-time collegestudents, but about one-fourth of all part-timecollege students. Full-time college attendance ismore likely among the older men than the olderwomen (at ages 18 to 21 the rates of full-timeattendance are about the same for both men andwomen).

There have been large increases in the numberof Negro college students in recent years. Thenumber of black college students 16 to 34 yearsold reached a high of 727,000 students in thefall of 1972. Black students comprised 9 percentof all college students in October 1972 comparedto 5 percent in 1964; however, Negroes comprisedabout 12 percent of the age group 16 to 34 yearsold in 1972. There were also approximately242,000 persons of Spanish origin 16 to 34 yearsold attending college in October 1972, comprising3 percent of all college students.

Enrollment Rates

School participation rates had reached nearuniversal enrollment for ages 7 to 13 by 1960(see appendix table A). Americans are nowstarting the "formal" educational process oftheir offspring at a much earlier age than in thepast. And more years are now being spent in theeducational system as more students continuetheir education beyond high school. By 1972,92 percent of 5- and 6-year-olds were enrolledin school, up 10 percentage points since 1962mainly because of the increasing enrollment of5-year-olds in kindergarten during the pastdecade. Also, about a quarter of the 3- and4-year-olds in the United States are currentlyattending schools. These rates for nurseryzchool ages have increased from about 10 per-cent in 1964 when enrollment levels of 3- and4-year-olds were first determined in the CurrentPopulation Survey. Among women 18 and 19years old 42 percent were enrolled in school in1972 as compared with 30 percent in 1960.Enrollment rates were lower for women of thisage than for men, although the differences be-tween the enrollment rates were smaller in 1972

than in 1960 (see appendix table A). About 51percent of the civilian men 18 and 19 years oldwere enrolled in 1972, not significantly differentfrom the level in 1960 (48 percent). On theaverage, persons starting school in 1972 canexpect to spend a total of 15 years in some typeof formal schooling before age 35; 20 years agothe comparable figure was 13 years. 2

Enrollment and Armed Forces Participation

School enrollment rates in the Current Popu-lation Reports series are computed with theUnited States civilian noninstitutional populationas the base. Entrance to and separation fromthe Armed Forces are heavily concentratedaround college age for men and thus changesin the Armed Forces level can have an appreciableeffect on the college enrollment rate.

An analysis of Armed Forces participationamong men 18 to 24 years old during the past113 years suggests that changes in the schoolenrollment rates among civilian men in the 1960'swere offset by a drop in the level of Armed Forcesparticipation during this period. The decline inArmed Forces participation since 1969 increasedthe number of men in the civilian population,but the number of civilian men in college didnot increase significantly. The proportion of men18 to 24 years old in the Armed Forces declinedfrom a peak of 19 percent (2.2 million) in 1968to 10 percent (1.3 million) in 1972. The declinewas greatest for men 20 and 21 years old from31 percent of the age group in 1968 to 13 percentin 1972 (see table B). When men in the ArmedForces are added to the civilian population base(and are considered not enrolled in school) theadjusted enrollment rate of 20- and 21-year-oldmen remains more constant at 30 or 32 percentduring the past 6 years. The enrollment ratesfor 18- and 19-year-old men (similarly adjusted)increased to 53 percent of the age group in 1968and then declined to 47 percent by 1972 (seefigure 2.)

'The 1972 level was computed for enrollment'rates for ages 5 to 34 using the method de-scribed in Edward Stockwell and Charles B. Nam,"Illustrative :fables of School Life," Journal ofAmerican Statistical Association (December 1963),pp. 113-114. Stockwell and Nam computed the 1957data for ages 5 to 34. Considering time spent inschool at ages 3 and 4 years, the figure wouldbe about 16 years in school at 1972 rates of

enrollment.

In 1967, about half of 18- to 24-year-oldmen were neither in the Armed Forces norenrolled in school. By 1972, the proportion ofthe age group who were not enrolled in schoolnor serving in the Armed Forces increasedfrom 50 to 58 percent. The proportion of men18 and 19 years old neither in the Armed Forcesnor enrolled in school increased by 9 percentagepoints from 36 percent in 1967 to 45 percent in1972. And at age 20 and 21 years old, the in-crease was 13 percentage points-- from 41 percentin 1967 to 54 percent in 1972. Thus, in 1972,7.6 million men 18 to 24 years old were not inschool nor in the Armed Forces, compared with5.5 million in 1967.

These dramatic shifts in and out of ArmedForces and institutions of higher education sug-gest that college enrollment of 18- and 19-year -old men may have been unusually high duringthe late 1960's because of draft laws whichallowed draft deferment for men enrolled incollege. Enrollment rates for men over 20 yearsold apparently were not measurably affected bythe draft laws or Armed Forces participation,however; in fact, school enrollment of 20- and21-year-old men have remained nearly constantfor the past 6 years.

While the school enrollment rates for persons18 to 24 years old just out of high school may bedeclining somewhat, the rates for persons over25 years old have increased slightly between1963 and 1972. These changes in rates may havebeen boosted by the increased numbers of veterans

returning to college. For example, over a millionVietnam veterans were receiving benefits fromGI loans at institutions of higher learning duringfall 1972 compa..ed to about one-third that figurein the fall of 1966.3 Future changes in collegeenrollment levels may be affected more byfluctuations in the population and increased en-rollment among persons over age 25 than byfurther shifts in enrollment rates among 18-to21-year-olds--the "conventional" college agegroup.

Family Income Of College Students

Figures in table C show the proportion offamilies with civilian dependents 14 to 24 yearsold attending college full-time by family income(in 1972 dollars). These data are only availablefor the years 1967 to 1972. Primary familieswith civilian college-age persons (about 9 millionfamilies in 1972) were somewhat less likely tohave dependent members 18 to 24 years oldattending college full-time in 1972 than in 1969when college enrollment rates for the civilianpopulation were highest (see appendix A). Theproportion of families with dependent familymembers attending college declined by about 4percentage points between 1969 (the year ArmedForces participation rates began to decline)and 1972.

since 1969 have been greater for families inincome categories between $7,500 and $15,000than at other income levels. In fact 1971 and1972 enrollment rates in these income categoriesare lower than for the years 1967 to 1970.

In 1972, 40 percent of families with dependents18 to 24 years old attending college full timeearned $15,000 or more. This proportion has

not changed greatly since 1967 when 37 percentof families with members 18 to 24 years oldhad members enrolled. Altogether, 27 percentof families with members of college age reportedincomes of $15,000 or more. Although 19 percentof all families with dependent members 18 to 24years old reported incomes of less than $5,000in 1972, only 9 percent of families with membersenrolled in college reported that amount ofincome.

Modal Grade Of Enrollment

The data on modal grade or enrollment pre-sented in table D show the proportion of studentsin 1972 enrolled in the grade which is "normal"for persons of their age.

The proportion of students enrolled at their"modal" grade (table decreases for eachsuccessive age group shown because more stu-dents fall behind in school as they age. Forexample, about 75 percent of 6- to 11-year-oldswere enrolled at the mode compared with 66percent of those 15 to 17 years old, and 58 per-cent of 18- to 21-year-olds. However, about thesame proportion (approximately 10 percent) ofstudents were enrolled above their modal gradefor each age group shown. For whites only,more 18- to 21-year-olds are enrolled abovethe mode than are persons 6 to 14 years old.A larger proportion of males than females wasenrolled below the modal grade, for each agegroup and, in contrast, a smaller proportion ofmales titan females of this age range were en-rolled above their modal grade for 6- to 11-year-olds and 15- to 17-year-olds.

Negroes were more likely than white studentsto be enrolled below the mode. The differencewas most pronounced for the older age groups.Among Negroes of high school age, 41 percentwere below the mode as compared with 22 per-cent of the white students; and about 53 percent

of 18- to 21-year-old Negro students were en-rolled below the mode for their age, comparedwith 2S percent for white students--a differenceof 25 percentage points. The difference betweenwhite and black students at ages 6 to 11 was 7percentage points.

Data on the modal grade of enrollment forstudents of Spanish origin are presented for thefirst time in this report. As for both white andNegro students, the proportionof Spanish studentsenrolled below their modal grade is higher forthe older than the younger age groups. Amongpersons of Spanish origin 26 percent of 6- to 11-year olds compared with 62 percent of 18-to21-year old students were enrolled below themodal grade. The proportion of persons ofSpanish origin enrolled below the modal gradeat each age group shown in table D is not signi-ficantly different from the comparable propor-tion for black students, although they are higherthan those for all white students.'

Major Field Of Study For College Students

Data pertaining to major field of study ofcollege students (table E) were last collected bythe Census Bureau in October 1966.5 Of the 8.3million college students 14 to 34 years oldin October 1972, 1.2 million (14 percent) wereenrolled in business or commerce fields, 1.0million (12 percent) in education, 954,000 (11percent) in social sciences, and 952,000 (11 per-cent) in biological and health sciences. Thenumber of education majors has decreased byabout 111,000 or by about 10 percent since theOctober [966 survey probably because the de-clining birth rate has reduced the demand forteachers. Other fields which showed losses overthis period were engineering and the physicalsciences with decreases of around 33 percentfrom the 1966 figure. Conversely, the numberof social science majors increased by about 49percent over the 1966 figure, and commerceand business majors increased by 30 percent.

''Persons of Spanish origin may be of any race(i.e. white, Negro or other) in Census Bureautabulations. However, nearly all are reportedas whit::.

Most fields of specialization were dispropor-tionately filled by members of one sex only. Men,for example, represented 57 percent of all collegestudents in 1972, but 98 percent of the engineer-ing majors, 90 percent of the agriculture students,and 81 percent of the law students. Other fieldsheavily dominated by men were business andcommerce and the physical sciences. Womenpredominated in education specializations (73percent) and in health fields (58 percent). About30 percent of women enrolled in college in 1972were majoring in education or health fields;only 12 percent of men were found in thosemajor fields.

First and second year students in four-year,colleges were more likely to be majoring ineducation and the social sciences and less likelyto be majoring in business courses than werestudents at two-year colleges. About 12 percentof the freshmen and sophomores at four-yearcolleges were education majors compared with7 percent of students at two-year colleges, and19 percent of students at junior colleges werebusiness and commerce majors, compared with14 percent of freshmen and sophomores atfour-year institutions. About 25 percent atjunior colleges were majoring in "other" fields,compared with 14 percent for first and secondyear students in four-year colleges. The high

proportion of two-year college students in non-regular majors may in part be attributable tothe wider variety of vocational education spe-cialties available at many junior colleges.

Explanation Of Population Estimates

In order to obtain estimates of the char-acteristics of the civilian noninstitutional popu-lation at the time the Current Population Surveyis taken, weighted sample results of the surveya.:e inflated using the most recent postcensalpopulation estimates as bases. The base forinflation factors used with the October 1972survey was the 1970 Census of Population; allprevious years (since 1961) have been based onthe 1960 Census of Population. A comparison ofOctober 1971 survey data based on the 1960census with revised data using the 1970 censusas a base, shows the 1970-based estimates forall ages under 12 years old to be smaller thanthe 1960-based estimates. In comparing databased on different census years, it is importantto consider the effect of weighting procedures.Appendix table B shows school enrollment databy age, sex, and level for October 1971 basedon the 1970 census figures.

RELATED REPORTS

Advance data on school enrollment for October1972 were presented in Series P-20, No. 247.Statistics on school enrollment for October ofthe years prior to 1972 have been published inother reports in Series P-20.

Data on college plans of high school seniorsfor October 1972 were presented in "CollegePlans of High School Seniors: October 1972,"Current Population Reports, Series P-20, No. 252.information on the characteristics of students in2-year (Junior or Community Colleges) and 4-year colleges are shown in "Undergraduate En-rollment in Two-Year and Four-Year Colleges:October 1972," Current Population Reports,"Series P-20, No. 257.

A report titled "Preprimary Enrollment:Octo-ber 1972" has been released by the Office ofEducation, U.S. Department of Health, Educationand Welfare. Funds from the Officeof Education,National Center for Education Statistics madepossible the collection and analysis of data on3- and 4-year old children in this report.

Statistics on school enrollment for cities,standard metropolitan statistical areas, States,regions, and the United States appear in reportsof the decennial censuses. Detailed statistics onschool enrollment by age and socioeconomiccharacteristics for regions and the United Statesare presented in Subject Reports of the 1970census, especially in PC(2)-5A, School En-rollment.

Figures on school enrollment from the OctoberCurrent Population Survey differ from decennialcensus data for reasons in addition to the differ-ence in the dates. In the first place, the surveydata exclude the institutional population andmembers of the Armed Forces. These two groupswere included in the census. Second, there weredifferences in field work. The small group ofCurrent Population Survey enumerators weremore experienced and had more intensive trainingand Supervision than the large number of tempo-rary Census enumerators and may have moreoften obtained more accurate answers fromrespondents. Third, the census was taken inApril and relates to enrollment since February 1,whereas the surveys were taken in October andrelate to enrollment in the current term. Thisdifference in months of the year affects notonly the extent of school enrollment (through"dropouts" during the school year, etc.) but alsothe level of school in which persons of a givenage are enrolled.

Data from school systems. Information oncollege enrollment is also collected and publishedby Federal, State, and local governmental agen-cies, and by independent research organizations.This information is generally obtained fromreports of school systems and institutions ofhigher learning, and from other surveys andcensuses. These data are only roughly com-parable with data collected by the Bureau ofthe Census by household interviews, however,because of differences in definitions, subjectmatter covered, and enumeration methods. Thecensus data are subject to sampling variability,which may be relatively large where numbers forspecific age or population groups, or for givenschool categories, are small.

Except in New England, anSMSA is a county or group of contiguous countieswhich contains at least one city of 50,000 in-habitants or more, or "twin cities" with a com-bined population of at least 50,000. In additionto the county, or counties, containing such a cityor cities, contiguous counties are included in anSMSA if, according to certain criteria, they areessentially metropolitan in character and aresocially and economically integrated with thecentral city. In New England, SMSA's consist oftowns and cities, rather than counties. The

metropolitan population in this report is based onSMSA's as defined in the 1970 census and does notinclude any subsequent additions or changes.

The population inside SMSA ' s is further cla ssi-fied as "in central cities" and "outside centralcities." With a few exceptions, central citiesare determined according to the following criteria:

1. The largest city in an SMSA is always acentral city.

2. One or two additional cities may besecondary central cities on the basis and in theorder of the following criteria:

a. The additional city or cities have atleast 250,000 inhabitants.

b. The additional city or cities have apopulation of one-third or more of that ofthe largest city and a minimum populationof 25,000.

Geographic regions. The four major regionsof the United States, for which data are presentedin this report, represent groups of States, asfollows:

Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachu-setts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

North Central: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras-ka, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, andWisconsin.

South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware,District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Caro-lina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colora-do, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

School enrollment. The school enrollment sta-tistics from the current surveys are based on re-plies to the enumerator's inquiry as to whether theperson was enrolled in school. Enumerators wereinstructed to count as enrolled anyone who had beenenrolled at any time during the current term orschool year in any type of graded public, parochial,or other private school in the regular school system.Such schools include nursery schools, kinder-gartens, elementary schools, high schools, col-leges, universities, and professional schools. At-tendance may be on either a full-time or part-time

basis and during the day or night. Thus, regularschooling is that which may advance a persontoward an elementary or high school diploma, ora college, university, or professional schooldegree. Children enrolled in nursery schools andkindergarten are included in the enrollment figuresfor "regular" schools, and are also shown;separately.

"Special" schools are those which are not in theregular school system, such as trade schools orbusiness colleges. Persons attending "special"schools are not included in the enrollment figures.

Persons enrolled in classes whichdo not requirephysical presence in school, such as correspond-ence courses or other courses of independent study,and in training courses given directly on the job, arealso excluded from the count of those enrolled inschool, unless such courses are being counted forcredit at a "regular" school.

School enrollment in year preceding currentsurvey. An inquiry on enrollment in regular schoolor college in October of the preceding year wasasked in the 1972 survey concerning persons 14 to24 years old who were not currentlyattending regu-lar school or who were enrolled in college.

Level of school. The statistics on level of schoolindicate the number of persons enrolled at each offive levels: Nursery, kindergarten, elementaryschool (first to eighth grades), high school (ninthto twelfth grades), and college or professionalschool. The last group includes graduate studentsin college or universities. Persons enrolled in jun-ior high school through the eighth grade are classi-fied as in elementary school and the others as inhigh school.

Nursery school. A nursery school is defined asa group or class that is organized to provide educa-tional experiences for children during the year oryears preceding kindergarten. It includes instruc-tion as important an integral phase of its programof child care. Private homes in which essentiallycustodial care is provided are not considered nur-sery schools. Children attending nursery schoolare classified as attending during either part of theday or the full day. Part-day attendance refers tothose who attend either in the morning or in the af-ternoon, but not both. Full-day attendance refersto those who attend both in the morning and after-noon.

"Head Start." Children enrolled in "Head Start"programs or similar programs sponsored by localagencies to provide preschool education to youngchildren are counted under "Nursery" or "Kinder-garten" as appropriate.

Public or private school. In this report, a publicschool is defined as any educational institution oper-ated by publicly elected or appointed school officialsand supported by public funds. Private schools in-clude educational institutions established and op-erated by religious bodies, as well as those whichare under other private control. In cases where en-rollment was in a school or college which was bothpublicly and privately controlled or supported, en-rollment was counted according to whether it wasprimarily public or private.

Full-time and part-time attendance. Collegestudents were classified, in this report, accordingto whether they were attending school on a full-time or part-time basis. A student was regardedas attending college full time if he was taking 12or more hours of classes during the average schoolweek, and part time if he was taking less than 12hours of classes during the average school week.

Age. The age classification is based on the ageof the person at his last birthday.

Race. The population is divided into threegroups on the basis of race: white, Negro, and"other races." The last category includes Indians,Japanese, Chinese, and any other race exceptwhite and Negro.

Spanish origin. Information on origin ordescent was obtained by asking "What is (thisperson's) origin or descent?" Responses gen-erally refer to a person's perceived nationalor ethnic lineage and do not necessarily indicatethe country of birth of himself or his parents.The category Spanish origin includes persons ofMexican, Puerto Rican, Central or South Ameri-can, and other Spanish origin.

Marital status. The marital status categoryshown in this report, "married, spouse present,"includes persons who are currently married andliving with their spouse.

Family. The term "family," as used here,refers to a group of two persons or more relatedby blood, marriage, or adoption and residingtogether; all such persons are considered asmembers of one family.

Flead of family. One person in each familyresiding together was designated as the head.The head of a family is usually the personregarded as the head by members of the family.Women are not classified as heads if theirhusbands are resident members of the family atthe time of the survey.

11

Dependent family members. For the purpose ofthis report, a dependent family member is arelative of the household head, excluding the head'swife or any other relative who is married with aspouse present. Such persons are generally sonsand daughters of the household head. However,members who are living away from home vthileattending college are also counted as dependentfamily members, if they are not married with aspouse present.

Years of school completed. Data on years ofschool completed in this report were derivedfrom the combination of answers to two questions:(a) "What is the highest grade of school he hasever attended?" and (b) "Did he finish this grade?"

The questions on educational attainment applyonly to progress in "regular" schools. Suchschools include graded public, private, andparochial elementary and high schools (bothjunior and senior high), colleges, universities,and professional schools, whether day schools ornight schools. Thus, regular schooling is thatwhich may advance a person toward an elementaryschool certificate or high school diploma, or acollege, university, or professional school degree.Schooling in other than regular schools wascounted only if the credits obtained were regardedas transferable to a school in the regular schoolsystem.

Family income. Income as defined in this re-port represents the combined total money incomeof the family before deductions for personal taxes,Social Security, bonds, etc. It is the algebraicsum of money wages and salaries, net income fromself-employment, and income other than earningsreceived by all family members during the 12months prior to the surveys. It should be notedthat, although the family income statistics referto receipts during the previous 12 months, thecharacteristics of the person, such as age, maritalstatus, etc., and the composition of families referto the date of the survey.

The income tables include in the lowest incomegroup (under 53,000) those who were classifiedas having no income in the previous 12 monthsand those reporting a loss in net income fromfarm and nonfarm self-employment or in rentalincome.

The income tables in this report include aseparate category for families for whom no in-come information was obtained. In most of theother Current Population Survey Reports showingincome data, the missing income data have beenallocated.

The money income level of families shown inthis report may be somewhat understated. Incomedata from the October control card are based onthe respondent's estimate of total family moneyincome for the preceding 12 months coded in broad,fixed income intervals (table F). Income datacollected in the March supplement to the CurrentPopulation Survey are based on responses to 8direct questions asked of all persons 14 yearsold and over identifying 14 different sources ofincome and cover the preceding calendar year.

Table F. Money Income Categories for

October 1972 Control Card

Under $1.000 $7,500 to $9,999$1,000 to $1,999 $10,000 to $11,999$2,000 to $2,999 $12,000 to $14,999$3,000 to $3,999 $15,000 to $19,999$4,000 to $4,999 $20,000 to $24,999$5,000 to $5,999 $25,000 and over$6,000 to $7,499

Previous research has shown that the use ofbroad income intervals to record money incometends to reduce the rate of nonreporting whileincreasing the likelihood that the amounts reportedwill be significantly understated as compared withresults from more detailed questions.

Rounding of estimates. Individual figures arerounded to the nearest thousand without beingadjusted to group totals, which are independentlyrounded. With few exceptions, percentages arebased on the rounded absolute numbers.

SOURCE AND RELIABILITY OF THEESTIMATES

Source of data. The data for this report forthe years 1960-1972 are based on results obtainedin the Current Population Survey (CPS) of theBureau of the Census.

In 1967-1972 the Current Population Surveysample was spread over 449 areas comprising863 counties and independent cities with coveragein each of the 50 States and the District ofColumbia. Approximately 47,000 occupied housingunits were eligible for interview each month.Of this number 2,000 occupied units, on theaverage, were visited but interviews were notobtained because the occupants were not foundat home after repeated calls or were unavailablefrom some other reason. In addition to the 47,000,there were also about 8,000 sample units in anaverage month which were visited but were foundto be vacant or otherwise not to be interviewed.From 1960-1966 approximately 35,000 occupiedhousing units were eligible for interview eachmonth.

The estimating procedure used in this surveyinvolved the inflation of the weighted sampleresults to independent estimates of the civiliannoninstitutional population of the United Statesby age, race, and sex. These independent esti-mates were based on statistics from the 1970Census of Population; statistics of births, deaths,immigration, and migration; and statistics onthe strength of the Armed Forces. For thedata collected in the Current Population Surveysin the years 1960-71, the independent estimatesused were based on statistics from the 1960Census of Population.

Reliability of the estimates. Since the esti-mates are based on a sample, they may differsomewhat from the figures that would have beenobtained if a complete census had been takenusing the same schedules, instructions, andenumerators. As in any survey work, theresults are subject to errors of response andof reporting, as well as being subject to Samplingvariability.

The- standard error is primarily a measureof sampling variability, that is, of the variations

that occur by chance because a sample ratherthan the whole of the population is surveyed.As calculated for this report, the standarderror also partially measures the effect ofresponse and enumeration errors, but does notmeasure any systematic biases in the data.The chances are about 68 out of 100 that anestimate from the sample would differ froma complete census figure by less than the standarderror. The chances are 90 out of 100 that thisdifference would be less than 1.6 times thestandard error, and the chances are about 95out of 100 that the difference would be lessthan twice the standard error.

All statements of comparison appearing inthe text are significant at a 1.6 standard errorlevel or better, and most are significant at alevel of more than 2.0 standard errors. Thismeans that for most differences cited in thetext, the estimated difference is greater thantwice the standard error of the difference.Statements of comparison qualified in some way(e.g., by use of the phrase "some evidence")have a level of significance between. 1.6 and2.0 standard errors.

The figures presented in tables H, I, J, K,L, and M are approximations to the standarderrors of various estimates shown in this report.In order to derive standard errors that wouldbe applicable to a wide variety of items andcould be prepared at a moderate cost, a numberof approximations were required. As a result,the tables of standard errors provide an indi-cation of the order of magnitude of the standarderrors rather than the precise standard errorfor any specific items. Tables H and 1 containthe standard errors of estimated numbers fora given class of persons age 3 to 34 enrolledin school. Table L contains the standard errorsof estimated numbers of families.

The reliability of an estimated percentage,computed by using sample data for both numeratorand denominator, depends upon both the size ofthe percentage and the size of the total uponwhich the percentage is based. Estimated per-centages are relatively more reliable than thecorresponding estimates of the numerators of thepercentages, particularly if the percentages are

50 percent or more. Tables J and K containthe standard errors of estimated percentagesfor a given class of persons age 3 to 34 enrolledin school. Table M contains the standard errorsof estimated percentages of families. Table Ncontains population estimates for age, sex, racegroups in October, 1972 which are necessaryfor the use of Tables H- M.

Note when using small estimates. Percentagedistributions are shown in this report only whenthe base of the percentage is greater than75,000. Because of the large standard errorsinvolved, there is little chance that percentageswould reveal useful information when computedon a smaller base. Estimated totals are shown,however, even though the relative standard errorsof these totals are larger than those for thecorresponding percentages. These smaller esti-mates are provided primarily to permit suchcombinations of the categories as serve eachuser's need.

Illustration of the use of tables of standarderrors. Table B of this report shows that4,100,000 of the 13,045,000 men aged 18 to 24were enrolled in school. Table H shows thestandard error on an estimate of this size tobe approximately 77,000. The chances are 68out of 100 that the estimate would have been

a figure differing from a complete census figureby less than 77,000. The chances are 95 out of100 that the estimate would have differed from acomplete census figure by less than 154,000.

Of these 4,100,000 men, 3,534,000 or 86.2percent were enrolled in college. Table J showsthe standard error of 86.2 percent on a baseof 4,100,000 to be approximately 0.8 percent.Consequently, chances are 68 out of 100 that theestimated 86.2 percent would be within 0.8 per-centage points of a complete census figure, andchances are 95 out of 100 that the estimatewould be within 1.6 percentage points of a censusfigure; i.e., this 95 percent confidence intervalwould be from 84.6 to 87.8 percent.

Differences. For a difference between twosample estimates, the standard error is approxi-mately equal to the square root of the sum ofthe squares of the standard errors of eachestimate considered separately. This formulawill represent the actual standard error quiteaccurately for the difference between two esti-mates of the same characteristic in two differentareas, or for the difference between separateand uncorrelated characteristics in the samearea. If, however, there is a high positivecorrelation between the two characteristics, thisformula will overestimate the true standarderror.

Illustration of the computation of the standarderror of a difference, Table B of this reportshows that in 1964 there were 2,571,000 out of9,430,000 men between the ages 18 and 24enrolled in school. Thus, the apparent changein the number of men between the ages 18 and24 enrolled in school in 1972 and 1964 is 1,529,000.The standard error of 4,100,000 is 77,000 asshown above. Table H shows the standard error

on an estimate of 2,571,000 to be approximately78,000. The standard error of the estimatedchange of 1,529,000 is about

110,000 =i/ (77,000)24(78,000)2.

This means the chances are 68 out of 100 thatthe estimated difference based on the sampleswould differ from the change derived using com-plete census figures by less than 110,000. The68 percent confidence interval around the1,529,000 change is from 1,419,000 to 1,639,000,i.e., 1,529,000 ± 110,000. A conclusion that theaverage estimate of the change derived from allpossible samples lies within a range computedin this way would be correct for roughly 68percent of all possible samples. The 95 per-cent confidence interval is 1,309,000 to 1,749,000and thus we can conclude with 95 percent con-fidence that the number of men between the ages18 and 24 who were enrolled in school in 1972was actually greater than those enrolled in schoolin 1964.
