Description
The project 'Family and Working Life in Sweden' (YAPS) started in 1998. The aim of the project was to build up a longitudinal data base for studies of the mutual connection of values and demographic behaviour.
The first wave was carried out in the spring of 1999. Based on a nationally representative sample, 3 408 individuals aged 22, 26 and 30 were asked to respond to a mail questionnaire that included questions about their plans, expectations and attitudes regarding family and working life. Factual information about their current situation and background characteristics was also included. In addition to the main sample of young adults born in Sweden with two Swedish-born parents, there was a smaller sample of young adults born in Sweden with one or both parents born in Poland or in Turkey.
Out of the 2 273 respondents in the 1999 survey, 78 per cent also participated in the second wave of the survey, which took place in May-June 2003. The second wave also include a new sample of 22 year old individuals with two Swedish-born parents.

A third wave of the survey was carried out during the spring 2009.
Except information collected through the questionnaires a number of background variables are collected from Statistic Sweden's register over the total population (RTB) and register of education.
The respons rate for the 1999 survey was 67% for the sample with Swedish-born parents, 60% for respondents with Polish background and 49% for respondents withTurkish background. For the 2003 survey the response rate for respondents with Swedish-born parents was 72% - 78% for respondents who also participated in the 1999 survey and 60% for the new sample (born in 1980) - and 67% for the second-generation sample (69% for respondents with Polish background and 65% for respondents with Turkish background).
