Hello,
I am working with DHS 2013, Nigeria data set. I am having trouble linking the parents education level with the children from the household member recode. How do I identify the parents that have children aged 5-15 years.
I have already generated a new variable for mother's age and father's age using the mother's line number and father's line number.
i.e
sort hhid hvidx

> . by hhid: gen fage = hv105[hv114]

Thank you.
