questions and design will remain
unchanged from its most recent
collection in 2024, with the exception of
a small number of additional questions
on childcare. Adding questions on
childcare to the ASEC is crucial to
understanding the childcare landscape
in the United States. While similar
questions are asked on other federal
surveys, the ASEC includes other
measures of economic well-being, such
as the official poverty and supplemental
poverty measures. Including these
additional questions will allow for more
direct policy relevant analyses of the
respondent group. Data gathered can
provide valuable insights into the usage,
accessibility, and difficulties faced by
parents and caregivers, informing better
policy outcomes. The data gathered
would also advance research called for
by the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine to improve
the treatment of childcare in the
supplemental poverty measure. A
deeper understanding of these childcare
dynamics can also help identify gaps
and enhance family well-being.
Information on work experience,
personal income, noncash benefits,
current and previous year health
insurance coverage, employersponsored insurance take-up, and
migration is collected through the
ASEC. The work experience items in the
ASEC provide a unique measure of the
dynamic nature of the labor force as
viewed over a one-year period. These
items produce statistics that show
movements in and out of the labor force
by measuring the number of periods of
unemployment experienced by people,
the number of different employers
worked for during the year, the
principal reasons for unemployment,
and part-/full-time attachment to the
labor force. We can make indirect
measurements of discouraged workers
and others with a casual attachment to
the labor market.
The income data from the ASEC are
used by social planners, economists,
government officials, and market
researchers to gauge the economic wellbeing of the country as a whole, and
selected population group of interest.
Government planners and researchers
use these data to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of various assistance
programs. Market researchers use these
data to identify and isolate potential
customers. Social planners use these
data to forecast economic conditions
and to identify special groups that seem
to be especially sensitive to economic
fluctuations. Economists use ASEC data
to determine the effects of various
economic forces, such as inflation,
recession, recovery, and so on, and their

differential effects on various
population groups.
The ASEC is the official source of
national poverty estimates calculated in
accordance with the Office of
Management and Budget’s Statistical
Policy Directive 14. Two other
important national estimates derived
from the ASEC are real median
household income and the number and
percent of individuals without health
insurance coverage.
The ASEC also contains questions
related to (1) medical expenditures; (2)
presence and cost of a mortgage on
property; (3) child support payments;
and (4) amount of childcare assistance
received. These questions enable
analysts and policymakers to obtain
better estimates of family and household
income, and more precisely gauge
poverty status.
II. Method of Collection
The ASEC information will be
collected by both personal visit and
telephone interviews in conjunction
with the regular February, March and
April CPS interviewing. All interviews
are conducted using computer-assisted
interviewing.
