Dear all,
I am currently working with the men's and individual's recode files for the 2019-21 survey wave for India, and I noticed that there may be some inconsistency between the educational attainment variable (mv/v149) and education in single years variable (mv/v133) for both files. From what I understand, (m)v133 gives the single years of education for the individual, going from 0 years to 20 years for both files, and (m)v149 categorizes these years into "no education", "incomplete primary", "incomplete secondary", "complete secondary", and "higher". According to this, individuals who completed 11 years of education should be categorized into "incomplete secondary" and those with 12 years should be categorized into "complete secondary". However, this result seems to be flipped (individuals with 11 years are being categorized into "complete secondary" and those with 12 years are under "incomplete secondary" for both files). I have attached a screenshot of the tabulate result I get in Stata for the individual's recode file. I only see this result in the 2019-21 survey datasets for India, and not in the older datasets. Am I missing something here?
Thank you for your help.
