Complexity of family life
80%
Description
Hello,
I am particularly interested in looking at how the complexity of family life is changing. Specifically, I want to generate variables that help me understand: how many adults have dependent children who don’t live with them? and how many children in couples have a parent who isn’t their biological parent? What I'm after doesn't need to be exactly these variables but something quite similar e.g. on the USoc family and households topic page there's a stat " One in four children under 15 no longer live with both biological parents" that gets at something similar, so something like this and also living with non-biological parents would be ideal.
I have seen a few responses to posts that ask similar question with respondents directed to the egoalt and xhhrel files, as well as the sample code for egoalt. I'm struggling a bit to get exactly what I want by combining the egoalt matrix information with the individual USoc file. Given that the stat above is published on the topic webpage I'd really appreciate it if some Stata code could be shared to produce something that does something equivalent to what I'm after.
Thank you very much in advance
