Data on child disability
50%
Description
Good morning.
I am a research assistant at Bocconi University in Italy and I am currently working on several projects, among which one concerning the child penalty of mothers whose children suffer from disability. In this phase of the project, we are looking for longitudinal data which we could potentially use; however, I do not understand whether the harmonized BHPS-Usoc data have the information we need - on child disability and mother's employment - and I am looking for a clarification.
From my understanding, there is no way to retrieve direct information on children's disability through the BHPS/Usoc, because respondents are 16+ or 10+ and I have not found variables asking adult respondents about their children's disabilities. Instead, starting from wave 2 of the Usoc, questions on health of newborns can be found in the PEACH survey. So only the PEACH surveys seem to contain the information we needed. Can anyone confirm this?
Thank you in advance
