Description

Hi,

I am after a W5 derived variable giving ns-sec for all respondents, including retired people and other 'economically inactive' categories at e_jbstat. This would based on current job, or last job for those not currently in work. The two dvs e_jbnssec_dv and e_jlnssec_dv seem to cover only those in work at w5 or, for those not in work, last job only for new entrants to the survey.

Is the best way to create such a dv by using these two variables from waves 1-5? i.e. starting with e_jbnssec_dv and then populating missings with e_jlnssec, then d_jbnssec_dv & d_jlnssec_dv etc back to w1? (Looking at w1 data, I think this MIGHT still leave some missing data as there are 1190 who answer no to a_jbhas & a_jboff but are missing at a_jbhad, a_jbnssec5_dv, & a_jlnssec5_dv).

Many thanks,
Dan
