Betreff: st: count in matched family-individuals file
I matched 2 files, one of households and other of individuals of each
household.
Now I have a file where the characteristics of each household are
associated with each individuals.
I want:
(a) to create a variable which count how many adults (18+) exist in
each household . Observations are individuals, so it means how many
times the same IDhousehold appears associated with an individual with
18 years old or upper.
(b) add the variable obtained in (a) to the household characteristics
(number of adults per household will be add to other characteristics
as size or income).
I have User Guide STATA Release 9, junt send me to a page.
Thanks
Joana
