Hi,
I am working with the 2013 DHS for Liberia for an upcoming reporte. I am trying to replicate the Table 2.13 "School attendance ratios", specifically the "Total Net Attendance Ratio" indicator. I have similar problems to reproduce the results reported for net attendance ration for 2007 in StatCompiler.
Here it is what I did to calculate net attendance ratio in the 2013 Liberia database:
clonevar age=hv105
recode hv121 (2=1) (9=.)
tab hv121 [iw=hv005] if age>=6 & age<=11 // For PRIMARY
tab hv121 [iw=hv005] if age>=12 & age<=17 // FOR SECONDARY
*I used the variable hv121 because hv129 is missing in all cases
And the results I got are are:
- For Total primary net attendance ratio 78.66 (instead of the 38.3 published)
- For Total secondary net attendance ratio 83.49 (instead of the 22.8 published)
Could you please help me figure out what is wrong with my code?
Thanks in advance for your help.
