Description

Hi,

I have a couple of questions about variable availability and conditions in the BHPS waves:

1. What is the question route for rjlsoc00? I can't find anything here: https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/bhps/documentation/volb/wave18/rindresp11#rjlsoc00and its equivalent in the UKHLS waves jlsoc00 has specific conditions under which its displayed. It seems like it should have a specific question route but I might be misunderstanding.
2. I am interested in calculating when someone last left their job. As far as I understand, I can do this for UKHLS waves using empstendy4 (existing participants), and jlendy (new entrants). However, for the BHPS, there only seems to be rjlend4, which only applies to new entrants as far as I can see: https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/bhps/documentation/volb/wave18/rindresp11#rjlend4. Is this correct?
3. Why isn't jlendm (month left last job) available for the BHPS waves? Year left last job - jlendy is. I can't see anything in the questionnaire though.

Many thanks,
Albert
