Description
Hi,
Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm still getting to grips with the dataset and coding with R. I just redownloaded "Understanding Society: Waves 1-15, 2009-2024 and Harmonised BHPS: Waves 1-18, 1991-2009" to check, but the values given for the ukborn variable on xwavedat.dta (shown below) don't match with the values shown on the ukborn variable on your website. Am I missing something or is this normal?
ukborn n
<dbl+lbl> <int>
1 -9 [missing] 52325
2 1 [Yes, England] 71020
3 2 [Yes, Scotland] 10661
4 3 [Yes, Wales] 7110
5 4 [Yes, Northern Ireland] 6697
6 5 [Not born in the UK] 19395
Thank you very much,
Emily
