Hi

I am using EGIR5ADT EGIR61DT, which are 2008 - 2014 IR recode files for Egypt.

I constructed the age gap in STATA by this command

gen age_gap= v730. - v012

where
v730 husband/partner age
v012 mother age

however, some results that I got are not matched with other variable.
for example, which pasted bellow, A man aged 15 will not be able to have higher eduaction in his age or having 7 children.

Husage: 15
mage: 49
age_gap: -34
nofchildern: 7
wealth: Richest
m_occ: Not employed
hus_occ: Professional, technical or managerial
hedu_years: 15
heducation: Higher education

where
Husage is the husband age
mage is the mother age
nofchildern is number of children under 5 in the HH
m_occ id mother occupation
hus_occ is husband occupation
hedu_years is husband education in years
heducation is husband educational level

This issue found in couple of individuals in the sample and my question here, Is this count as outliers in the dataset and need to be dropped ?

Thank you..
