Hello
I am trying to compare some trends over the years among ethnic groups, however I am having difficulty because of differences in the ethnic groups captured in each of these surveys.
Nigeria 2003 NGIR4BFL
S118 Ethnicity. This has 100 ethnic groups. Variable V131 is not used. In the published report ethnic groups are categorised into 6 main ethnic groups (Fulani, Hausa, Igbo, Kanuri, Tiv, Yoruba) and others. I would like to know how to groups the ethnic groups in S118 into these 6 main ethnic groups.
Nigeria 2008 NGIR53FL
S118 and V131 are used for ethnicity, with S118 being a comprehensive list, and V131 grouping these into 10 main ethnic groups. Unfortunately this grouping cannot be applied to S118 from the 2003 file above as the list of ethnic groups in S118 from each of the years are different.
Nigeria 2013 NGIR6AFL
V131 is used for ethnicity with 270 ethnic groups. The report groups these into 10 main ethnic groups (Tiv, Kanuri, Igala, Fulani, Ibibio, Ijaw, Hausa, Ekoi, Igbo, Yoruba). I would like to know how V131 variables are grouped to get into these ethnic groups. Unfortunately as above I cannot use the group from 2008 as the ethnic groups listed do not compare.
So ideally I would like to have the same major ethnic groups for all three surveys, which I think will need some grouping code to show me how the smaller ethnic groups have been grouped each year into the major groups listed in the reports.
Please can you help me?
Thanks in advance,
Janet
