<p>Hi,<br />Does this Labour income variable (w_fimnlabnet_dv) also capture the Statutory maternity pay (SMP) that the employers pay to their female employees who are on maternity leave?</p>
<p>Essentially women who are on maternity leave get their regular salaries for a few months- so is this counted as a labour income or this information is captured in some other variable in the survey data?</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1636 (Resolved): Empstat wave 5https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/16362022-01-22T00:22:33ZISHA GUPTA
<p>Hi Team,</p>
<p>I am trying to reconstruct the employment history of all the individuals. So, according to my understanding, the data file 'empstat' captures only the changes in employment status history- meaning that it only capture if there was a change in employment status (i.e. full time to part time or unemployment, etc.), along with the start month and year of this employment status, and not the changes in companies/ job/ job hours.<br />However, in many cases, same employment status has been captured in different spells. For ex- spell 1 and spell 2 had the same employment status (but with different start month and year, ofcourse)<br />So, my question is whether we should merge these spells into one? Or they are different in some other sense?<br />And in case they are merged as one then the start month and year (MY) of the earlier spell should be used as the start MY?</p>
<p>One such case is pidp=68019051 in e_empstat.</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1634 (Resolved): Employment Status History Wave 1 o...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/16342022-01-20T18:53:26ZISHA GUPTA
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>According to the documentation the employment status history is only available for individuals surveyed between Jan 2009 and June 2009.<br />Why is that? Does it mean that employment history of other individuals cannot be known at all?</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #1630 (Resolved): Date of birth datahttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/16302022-01-13T16:34:33ZISHA GUPTA
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am exploring the Understanding Society Survey and I need data on the date of birth (date, month and year) of all the children born to a mother. <br />According to the US documentation, there should a variable called "birthm" in the following data files of all the rounds- child, xwaveid, xwavedat, indall, indresp, xwaveid_bh.<br />But In the data files there is no such variable. <br />Please help.</p>
