Description

Hi
I am using both the Harmonized BHPS and the Understanding society for a study related to the motherhood wage gap. What I would need is the exact year of birth of the first child of each mother trying to reduce the missing values to the minimum. I tried the code that Alita provide in post #947 but this code, for some reason, does not work for the BHPS even if, of course, I change the name of the variables (for example mnpid to mnpid_bh). Do you have any suggestions on how I can proceed? Also, did I understand it correctly? Does pidp (indall) provides the child identifier? Does birthy (indall) provide the birth year of the child? and does mnpid provide the birth year of the mother?

Moreover, I saw that the BHPS provides a variable qfvoc related to the vocational background of the respondent. I was wondering:
1) does it refer to the highest qualification achieved? Or is it the variable just indicating that one of the qualifications achieved by the individual is a vocational qualification without referring to the highest qualification achieved?
2) is there any similar variable in Understanding society? if there is none is there any way I could derive this information? I noticed that not even the variable isced is included in US...

Thank you so much

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Maria
