Recreating adresp17 - person number of responsible adult
100%
Description
Hi there,
I am updating some code which uses Understanding Society data. The code was last ran in 2015 (by a former colleague who is no longer in the team) and used data from wave c (2011-2012). I am trying to rerun the code using more up-to-date data from wave j (2018-9).
The code I have inherited uses the c_adresp17 - defined here: https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/adresp17
This flag was removed from Understanding Society following wave e (f onwards). I wish to recreate this variable.
I think that adresp17 can probably be recreated using the egoalt dataset but it is important that I do so in a way which is consistent with the adresp17 variable that was provided in the indall datasets for waves a-e.
Would you be able to share the code to create this variable in waves a-e please?
Many thanks for your help
James
