Thanks. Sorry i should have explained. I have a birth cohort survey and sweep means each time the survey is repeated ie in 9 months 3 years 5 years after the birth of the child. I am interested to see transitions in and out of employment of parents when the child is 9 months (sweep 1) 3 years (sweep2) 5 years (sweep3). Hope this clarifies it.
