DDI_WLD_1960-1985_EAD_v02_M 2010-11-03 NADA DDI Document - Version 02 - (04/27/21) This version is identical to DDI_WLD_1960-1985_EAD_v01_M but country field has been updated to capture all the countries covered by survey. Version 01 (November 2010) Educational Attainment Data 1960-1985 EAD 1960-1985 WLD_1960-1985_EAD_v01_M Robert J. Barro and Jong-Wha Lee NADA Development Research Group Dataset used for Barro, Robert J. and Jong-Wha Lee, "International Comaprisons of Educational Attainment", NBER Working Paper No. W4349, 1993. The original dataset has two plain ASCII (text) files: SCHOOL1.RAW, which contains data on schooling of the total population, and SCHOOL2.RAW, which contains the same data for the male and female population. Each file has 664 records (lines) of data, of which each line represents one country in one year. All 108 countries have 6 lines of data (108 x 6 = 648) and the remaining seven countries have 18 records in total. The seven countries, which have incomplete time series data on schooling, are Seychelles (Summers-Heston code 35), Dominica (52), St. Lucia (63), St. Vincent (64), Solomon Islands (135), Vanuatu (137), and Western Samoa (138). Many theories of economic growth stress the role of human capital in the form of education, but empirical studies have been hampered by inadequate data. The authors describe a data set on educational attainment for 120 countries over five- year periods from 1960 to 1985. Census and survey figures fill over 40% of the cells, and the remainder are estimated from school-enrollment data by a perpetual- inventory method. The data refer to male and female attainment of the adult population at four levels: no schooling, primary, secondary, and higher. They also provide a rough breakdown into incomplete and complete attainment at the three levels of schooling.

Aggregate data [agg] The file contains the data set on educational attainment at various levels for the male and female population aged 25 and above. Out of the 129 countries constructed by Barro and Lee (1993), the data set includes 115 countries, which are in the sample countries of the Summers-Heston (1991) Mark 5. Data are presented, quinquennially, for the years 1960-1985. Other [oth] Census and survey figures fill over 40% of the cells, and the remainder are estimated from school-enrollment data by a perpetual- inventory method. The data refer to male and female attainment of the adult population at four levels: no schooling, primary, secondary, and higher. They also provide a rough breakdown into incomplete and complete attainment at the three levels of schooling.
