| Subject | Re: st: Creating new variables for parent groups in a joint family |

Yes, but relation code repeats itself. there can be two values coded 3. So if i create a nuclear hhid saying that nfam=hhid+ relation==3, i will get same value for both married sons in the joint family. Is there some way to create an identifier say, first set of relations coded 3,4 and 6 for household 1 should be coded nfam1 second set of relations coded 3,4 and 6 for household 1 should be coded nfam2 May be then i can create education indicators for each parent in each nuclear family. Sincerely, Tanu Kohli Division of Global Affairs/ Dept of Economics Rutgers University Newark According to your example, there is a variable "Relation to the head" which includes the information you need.
