Description

Hi,

I am just starting to work with the new wave 6 data (having previously worked with waves 1-5 in a panel study). For my analysis, I need to merge the sex and age of natural children of the respondents in the indresp file (i.e. merge information from the child file to the indresp file for natural children of the indresp respondents). In waves 1-5, I used the natch01-natch16 variables to do this (which tell me the person number of the natural children of the indresp respondents). However, these variables don't seem to be in the wave 6 indresp file. Do you know why this is and what the best alternative way of merging that information in would be?

Thanks,
Dan
