Description
Definition
EDYRTOTALMN (MV133) reports the man's education level in single years. This variable is constructed from responses to EDUCLVLMN (MV106) and YRSCHLMN (MV107) as follows:
If EDUCLVLMN = "No education," EDYRTOTALMN = "0"
If EDUCLVLMN = "Primary," EDYRTOTALMN = YRSCHLMN
If EDUCLVLMN = "Secondary," EDYRTOTALMN = YRSCHLMN + x
If EDUCLVLMN = "Higher," EDYRTOTALMN = YRSCHLMN + y
If EDUCLVLMN = "Missing," EDYRTOTALMN = "Missing"
In the above equations, "x" equals the number of years needed to complete primary education, and "y" equals the number of years needed to complete primary and secondary education. The values of "x" and "y" are country-specific.
If EDUCLVLMN = "No education," EDYRTOTALMN = "0"
If EDUCLVLMN = "Primary," EDYRTOTALMN = YRSCHLMN
If EDUCLVLMN = "Secondary," EDYRTOTALMN = YRSCHLMN + x
If EDUCLVLMN = "Higher," EDYRTOTALMN = YRSCHLMN + y
If EDUCLVLMN = "Missing," EDYRTOTALMN = "Missing"
In the above equations, "x" equals the number of years needed to complete primary education, and "y" equals the number of years needed to complete primary and secondary education. The values of "x" and "y" are country-specific.
