<p>Many thanks for your enquiry and for transferring it to the user support forum.</p>
<p>Please can I refer you to issue 551 (<a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/support/issues/551">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/support/issues/551</a>) which itself refers to the detailed response provided in 399 (<a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/support/issues/399">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/support/issues/399</a>) - we hope this helps.</p>
<p>My colleague Gundi can also add to this response with the code to derived hiqual_dv for the BHPS - I have therefore assigned this issue over to her to be updated further.</p>
<p>The cross-sectional weights in Understanding Society can be used for repeated cross-sections. Please refer to the user guide section on weights (<a class="external" href="https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage">https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage</a>) which provides an overview on which weights are provided and what they adjust for. Which weight to pick will depend on your research question.</p>

The education and highest qualification data have obviously been collected in a very different fashion so it will always be a good idea to test your results for any cross-study measurement issues. Please also read the associated variable notes for the qualifications-related derived variables in Understanding Society.</p>
