I have started using Turkey DHS 2008 recently. And I have read "recode manual" and "guide to DHS statistics". But i still did not get the difference between HV106$01, HV106$02, HV106$03. I know why the record is until HV106$35 because the max number of housholds in the questionare is 35. I have read your previous comments saying that these are multiple records and etc. But unfortunately i still did not get it. Therefore I put the descriptive statistics of first two occurance and I have the following questions.

1) Could you please tell me the difference in more details?
2) And what is 4, 5 and 6 in descriptive statistics? Because they are not defined in the data set. only no education, primary , secondary and higher education is definded.

The descriptive statistics of HV106$01.
Highest educational level:

Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent
Valid No education, preschool 1373 13.0 13.1 13.1
Primary 4731 45.0 45.0 58.1
Secondary 3072 29.2 29.2 87.3
Higher 1190 11.3 11.3 98.7

Missing 9 11 .1
System 576 5.5

3) and what is the difference between the following education variables?
HV106$01=Highest Education Level
HV107$01=Highest year of Education.
HV108$01=Education in Single Years

I have read the definition of them but i still did not get it.


HV107$01=Highest year of Education. And Why are there 1431 missing here? and why is it until 8?

Highest year of education
Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent

4 807 7.7 8.9 51.9
5 4256 40.4 46.8 98.7
6 24 .2 .3 99.0
7 69 .7 .8 99.8
8 6 .1 .1 99.8
DK 15 .1 .2 100.0
Total 9094 86.4 100.0
Missing System 1431 13.6
Total 10525 100.0




I know these questions are very basic questions but to be honest i am trying to understand them for almost 2 weeks. Could you please help me about this? I would be very appraciate this.
