Belong to religion oprlg variable: many missings
100%
Description
Dear Understanding Society team,
I am wondering why there is many missing/inapplicable responses to oprlg in later waves? Whilst in Wave 1, no inapplicable answers are coded, in later waves, this is between 80-90%. Even when merging with Wave 1 responses, or using the fed forward variable, I still have around 50% of values missing for adults at different waves. I am working with a created dataset of children and their parents, and using either the mother's or father's religion still yields a lot of missing responses. I will appreciate any guidance on how to figure this out; and how to properly code no religion vs missing values.
Thank you so much,
Michaela

Hello,
This question is asked of everyone every few years (Waves 1, 4, 8,..) and in the intervening waves it is asked of new entrants but only in the extra 5 minutes sample and so it is missing respondents who don't fall in this category in the intervening waves. To know who gets asked a question please look at the field "Universe" below the question in the questionnaire. https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/questionnaires
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
