Description

Dear support team
a lot of the variables in the Understanding Society dataset has a high percentage of inapplicable values. For example, the highest qualification variable, w_qfhigh, has around 85-90% of inapplicable values. How should I deal with the inapplicable values? Is inapplicable values the same as missing values? why is a variable like the highest qualification has so many inapplicable values? I would assume most of the people in the sample has some kind of education. Any other inputs on the questions will be much appreciated.

Thank you 
Jun
