Description

Good morning,

I am working on a project with the Welsh Government looking at the impact of childcare on children's outcomes, and we have a query on the extent to which the attrition rate for children and parents is different from the attrition for the entire sample, or at least of a broader sample.

We gathered information on children, parents and households using the child, indresp and hhresp datafiles. We sampled children aged 3 who are also observed at ages 5 or 8 and who live with both parents. When tracking cohorts of these children and also when pooling children of these ages across waves (from wave 6) we noticed the sample size reduce significantly (conditional on some light sample restrictions such as no missing values for a handful of variables). Given that within the project we are also exploring the possibility of further research on children and parents using the USoc, I would like to please enquire whether:
1) Attrition rates for parents of children under 10 years old is higher relative to broader samples?
2) The number of children in the study has generally declined across waves?

Any information on this will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Best wishes,
Julia
