Here at Young Lives, we’ve just released “constructed files” of all four of our rounds of data which features about 200 variables selected from our household and child surveys. They are available to download from the UK Data Service.
The constructed files are combined sub-sets of variables from Rounds 1 to 4 of the Young Lives household and child surveys conducted in 2002, 2006, 2009, and 2013. One main constructed data file is available for each of the four countries. These are presented in a panel format and contain approximately 200 original and constructed austria rcs data variables, with the majority comparable across all three rounds. The Stata syntax (.do) files which have been used to create the constructed data files are also included for information. They provide access to variables mostly available in all 4 rounds and focus on:
Child health and nutrition (includes data on height, weight, illness, etc.),
Child education (includes data on school enrolment, test scores, etc.),
Child time allocation (includes data on child’s hours spent on paid and unpaid labour, schooling, leisure, etc.),
Also included in the data set are:
Household standard of living (includes data on household measures of wealth such as housing quality, access to services, food and non-food expenditures, etc.),
Household access to public programmes such as the Productive Safety Net Programme in Ethiopia and the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in India,
A list of economic, environmental, social, and health-related events/shocks that may have affected the household (we have more than 50 items across all rounds).
