Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #1198 (Resolved): Weighting data Wave 8 h_indresphttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/11982019-06-12T07:47:26ZSarah H
<p>Hi</p>
<p>The US provides instructions on pages 65 to 71. Section 3.3 to choose the correct Variable to Weight the data.<br />I have selected n_indpxui_xw because I'm using the individual dataset and not excluding proxy responses. <br />However, the naming convention on page 71 suggests that n_indpxus_xw would be the correct weight? This variable is not available in the dataset that I'm using. N_indpxus_lw is indeed available but LW stands for longitudinal data and I'm only doing analysis of one wave. therefore this is not longitudinal. Instead XW weights that stand for cross-sectional data, i.e. using one wave cross-sectional data. <br />n_indpxui_wv is the only variable that is cross-sectional that is available in the dataset I have selected this as the correct weight to use? Can you confirm this please</p>
<p>best wishes</p>

<p>Hi <br />h_jbfxuse9 is the variable that people say if they are in a zero hours contracts. These are temporary contracts.<br />those in permanent employment are coded as being in zero hours contracts. Is this a miscoding or a misreporting e.g. respondents believe that they are in permanent employment or their proxy has reported this? <br />Many thanks</p>

<p>Understanding Society wave 8</p>
<p>rach16 that indicates whether the respondent are responsible for a child under the age of 16. This is derived from the household grid.<br />c_depchl_dv is Whether dependent child: DWP definition.</p>
<p>The count for each is different.</p>
<p>Therefore, is it right to assume that RACH16, is how participants define that they are responsible for a child?</p>
