hello again !

I am trying to use caste as SES variables, and realized that about 3% of values are missing

The caste variable in household datasets is SH48 and SH49;
value 993 "No caste/tribe" in sh48 becomes a missing value in sh49,
and there is value 4 "None of them" in variable sh49

What is the difference between "no caste/tribe" in sh48 (which equals to missing value in sh49) and "none of them" in sh49 ?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best,
