Data Availability All interviews were carefully checked for errors and chronological consistency.* Many respondents were contacted again to clear up inconsistencies in the data and to help the researchers to reconstruct life histories to the fullest extent possible.** The observation window varies for each cohort in the GLHS, from 68 years for those born around 1919 to 27 years for those born in 1971. The data are housed at the Center for Research on Inequality and the Life Course, and are made available to researchers through the center. We are currently working on the last steps in the process of incorporating all study components in a single, harmonized database with an English language codebook. Each study component is also available in separate, cohort-specific datasets. The data are organized and stored in a format that facilitates longitudinal analyses, especially event history analyses.*** ***See CIQLE Literature Database and open the methodology folder.
