  because mothers are asked to provide separate responses for each of the biological children with whom they
  reside. The total number of responses for the Mother Supplement (2,200) is more than the number for the Child
  Supplement (2,050) because the number of children completing the Child Supplement is lower. The total number
  of 14,110 respondents across all the survey instruments is a mutually exclusive count that does not include:
  (1) The 200 re-interview respondents, who were previously counted among the 7,800 main survey respondents and
  (2) the 1,310 Child SAQ respondents, who were previously counted among the 2,050 Child Supplement respondents.

    Total Annualized capital/startup costs: $0.
    Total Annual Costs (operating/maintaining systems or purchasing 
services): $0.
    Description: The information obtained in this survey will be used 
by the Department of Labor, other government agencies, academic 
researchers, the news media, and the general public to understand the 
employment experiences and life-cycle transitions of men and women born
