Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #486 (Closed): BHPS education leaving age variableshttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/4862016-01-14T12:25:48ZStefanie Janelqxsw5@nottingham.ac.uk
<p>Hi, I'm trying to create a variable for bhps that gives an overall 'education leaving age' which takes account of school leaving age (scend) or further education leaving age (feend) depending on which is relevant (i.e depending on whether respondent went to further education, whether respondent has left school or FE) and alternatively gives a different value(for example 100) if the respondent is still in education (either school or FE), in order to ultimately create a 'number of years out of education' variable.</p>
<p>I am having trouble getting my head around the syntax to use because of the way the bhps variables are set up. I have tried numerous syntaxes ad get very different results each time. Could you please suggest correct syntax to use here. I am in a bit of an urgent situation as need to produce some regression analyses asap.</p>

<p>Hi, I need some advice on analyzing a subpopulation of the sample. Specifically I am only analyzing individuals that were aged 16-24 in the first wave and who have a 'full interview' at each subsequent wave.</p>
<p>Previously I had been just been applying a filter to the data and still using the sample weights, but it has occurred to me that this might not be statistically sound thing to do. What do I need to do in order to analyze this subpopulation correctly using spss? Also, would I need to adjust the sample weights manually at some point?</p>

<p>Could you tell me which specific qualifications are coded in to the 'other higher' category of w_hiqual_dv?</p>
<p>An additional question about BHPS, if you happen to know: does wqfedhi include vocational qualifications and wqfachi exclude vocational qualifications? Also, could you direct me towards the specific details of how the bhps qualifications were coded in to the b_hiqual_dv variable.</p>

<p>If looking at data from wave 1 and wave 4 with the intention of comparing jbstat frequencies (only for respondents who have valid data for the variable at both waves)should the longitudinal wave 4 weight be used for the analysis of both waves or should each wave's cross-sectional weight be used?

<p>I'd like to create a variable of number of job spells from 1/9/2009-1/9/2010 (as opposed to the existing variable b_nunmpsp_dv which is job spells since last interview)so that it can be directly compared with the job spells variable from the BHPS which has the 1/9/xx to 1/9/xx format).Does anyone have an idea of how I could do this in terms of syntax? Thanks</p>
