I am using the variable v717 (standardized occupation) for comparison across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. the recode manual says: "Standardized respondent's occupation groups. Agricultural categories also include
fishermen, foresters and hunters and are not the basis for selection of agricultural/nonagricultural workers. In countries, where it is not possible to differentiate between selfemployed agricultural workers and agricultural employees, no attempt has been made to use
other information, and code 4 has been used for both categories. The analyst may wish to
use other related information to differentiate between these two categories.
BASE: All women"
But after running the descriptive to in stata I am getting 2 categories of variables labeled agriculture (refer to the attached document). Please help me identify my mistake looking at the attached stata output.
Thankyou
