d_qfhigh_dv and d_hiqual_dv in Understanding Society
100%
Description
Hi, I need to look at the effect on highest education qualification. However, there are two variables about highest education qualification in the main wave which I found some confusions. It seems that both d_qfhigh_dv and d_hiqual_dv are derived indicators for the highest edu qualification with the latter include the BHPS sample. I tried to cross-tab these two variables but some inconsistencies were found. Therefore, I want to understand why and which variables should I choose.
Thanks.

HIQUAL_DV is available for both UKHLS and BHPS 1-18 and is based on additional information about vocational training (see data set documentation). A respondent may, e.g., have a HNC/HND and this would be treated equivalent to having an “other higher degree” in HIQUAL_DV but would in itself not produce a valid value of QFHIGH_DV. QFHIGH_DV can on the other hand be produced on the background of questions only asked in UKHLS and hence with fewer generalisations about some of the categories.
On behalf of the team,
