Description

Dear Understanding society support team,

I am currently working on a study for which I would like to pool data from all USOC waves (1-11) for a cross-sectional analysis of labour market, educational and health outcomes for different minority groups, comparing first and second generation.

From what I have read in previous posts if I pool data from all waves in the "long format", treating the same individuals across different waves as different persons, I can use the corresponding cross-sectional weight from each wave. Is that correct?

However, my initial idea was to pool the most recent available information for all individuals in Understanding Society (waves 1 - 11), so I would have one entry for each person that ever participated in the study taken from whatever the most recent wave was where they took part. Would you be able recommend what weights I should use in this case?

Best wishes,

Jonas
