Dear Statalisters
Since the ratio of part time work, would be
the total of the part-time work (i.e., of the both
genders) over the total of the full time work of both
the genders, I presume I do
.egen ratioprtwrk=(zmalprt+zfemprt)/zmalfull+zfemfull)
zmalprt=male part time; zfemprt=female part time, zfemfull=female full-time; zmalfull=male full time.
Can anyone please confirm if this is the correct command.
Two problems
1. Its missing an opening bracket.
2.There is no need to use -egen- (see -man egen- for details of what egen does).
gen ratioprtwrk=(zmalprt+zfemprt) / (zmalfull+zfemfull)
