Derived variables for sweep 4 of NCDS
NB This Data Note is not available here for download, as we do not have the derived dataset itself, and the syntax contained in the appendices cannot readily be used to produce it from the raw NCDS5 data.
Data Note on the coding of qualifications reported in NCDS5
This Data Note reports on work done to improve the quality and consistency of data relating to the children of cohort members available for NCDS5.
The following documentation gives details of derived variables relating to family income and wealth; and weekly and hourly pay in NCDS5
Data Note reporting on the creation of a new regional variable which has fewer missing cases than previous
NB This Data Note has been partially superseded by the results of an ESRC-funded project consolidating and cleaning female partnership histories (but not male) for NCDS4, NCDS5 and NCDS6 (see ‘NCDS5-6 Data Note’ downloadable here). The dataset is now available from the UK Data Archive.
