Question with regard to the variable nwage_dv
50%
Description
Dear Understanding Society Team,
I am working with household level income data and I would like to adjust that data with the number of working age people in a given household. However, I noticed that the nwage_dv variable has a significant portion of zeros for this variable.
How might this be possible as zeros indicate in my understanding that the number of working age people in a household are none.
I would appreciate a brief clarification.
Thanks, and have a good evening,
Best,
Nico

Hi Nico,
I want to double-check if I correctly understand your question. Are you surprised by the number of household with no people in working age (i.e. the number surprisingly high)? Or is it "How can households have household income if no one is of working age?"
Thanks,
