Description

Hi I am doing a Master's dissertation studying changing markers of adulthood from pre COVID-19 to the initial impact of COVID-19 (employment, leaving home, family and education). I have successfully merged the jk_ main survey wave supplied in the COVID-19 study to the cg_ wave (in long format).

However I am finding a lot of the variable names and labels to be different and there are a lot of missing values. Is this a problem for data analysis (specifically pooled OLS regressions)? Are there any help guides/worksheets on going about doing this data analysis? What descriptive statistics would you recommend to show transitions?

I see that the user guide for the COVID-19 study says you can do this but there is not much detail on how to actually go about doing this merging.
