19 Achieve Excellence ｜ －18 The Panel Study of Family Dynamics (PSFD) is a long-term panel survey conducted by the Center for Survey Research at the Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences. Data collection for the PSFD was carried out annually between 1999 and 2012, and biennially since 2012. More than 6,000 individuals have taken part in this survey project, with 18 rounds of data collected since the first sample group. Through tracking the same individuals over time, we can better understand how people’s attitudes and behavior varied across different time periods, as well as how family structures and interactions between family members changed during their life courses. Data from the Panel Study of Family Dynamics are vital for research on population, family, labor, education, and subjective well-being. “By looking into long-term panel data, we can provide explanations and solutions to important issues in Taiwan such as wage stagnation, late or no marriage, low fertility, and ageing population.” ‒Ruoh-Rong Yu, Research Fellow, Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences
