Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #571 (Resolved): routing for a_jbhad and b_jbbgd/b_j...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/5712016-05-21T15:25:37ZZoe Oldfield
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am trying to work out the routing for some of the employment variables and for some variables, the routing in the questionnaire doesn't seem to match the routing in the data.</p>
<p>1. In wave 1, the routing stated in the questionnaire for a_jbhad is:</p>
<pre><code>IF JBHAS = 2 AND JBOFF = 2</code></pre>
<p>However, when I do the following (stata code):</p>
<pre><code>gen route = a_jbhas==2 & a_jboff==2<br /> tab a_jbhad route</code></pre>
<p>I get the following:</p>
<pre><code>ever had paid | route<br /> employment | 0 1 | Total<br />-----------------+----------------------+----------<br /> missing | 0 29 | 29<br /> inapplicable | 26,525 1,190 | 27,715<br />proxy respondent | 2,036 1,226 | 3,262<br /> refused | 0 2 | 2<br /> don't know | 0 14 | 14<br /> yes | 0 16,108 | 16,108<br /> no | 0 3,864 | 3,864<br />-----------------+----------------------+----------<br /> Total | 28,561 22,433 | 50,994</code></pre>
<p>So there are 1190 observations that look like they should have been asked jbhad but were not. Why is this? Am I missing something in the routing?</p>
<p>2. The routing for b_jbbgd/b_jbbgm/b_jbbgy is the following:<br /><pre>
IF (JBHAS = 1 OR JBOFF = 1)
AND IF (FF_IVLOLW<>1 & FF_EVERINT<>1)
</pre></p>
<p>However when I do the following (stata code):<br /><pre>
gen route = (b_jbhas==1|b_jboff==1) & (b_ff_ivlolw~=1 & b_ff_everint~=1)
tab b_jbbgy route
</pre></p>
<p>I get this:<br /><pre>
year started | route
current job | 0 1 | Total
-------------+----------------------+----------
missing | 0 1 | 1
inapplicable | 50,010 1,982 | 51,992
don't know | 0 16 | 16
</pre></p>
<p>So there are 1982 observations who do not get asked the date that their current job started even though they have never been interviewed before. Why is this? Again, am I missing something?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
