To whom it may concern,

my name is Constantin and I work as a research assistant at the WZB. I am writing on behalf of my team because we have a problem with the evaluation of educational histories in the UKHLS dataset. We are trying to derive education spells in Stata from the UKHLS data. The older codes found so far, which also take the BHPS dataset into account, use information/variables for this purpose, some of which were only collected in a few years, and which seem to us to be necessary for the creation of the spell, for example:

// ledendm: Month resp. 1st left f/t education
// ledendy: Year resp. 1st left f/t education
// ledeny4: Year resp. 1st left f/t education
// lgaped: whether left ft-education before start fe
// lednow: Resp still in f/t education

Since the UKHLS data set only seems to have collected the educational qualifications with their points in time, it seems that the decision was made to no longer collect the educational biographies as spells. Is this true? Is it possible to derive education spells from the UKHLS data? If so, what approach would you suggest?

Thank your for your help! Best regards,
Constantin
