Description
EDLEVEL records the highest level of education attended by the household member.
This variable provides a simplified version of education level similar to the following EDLEVEL variables:
EDLEVELMN men (on the men unit of analysis)
EDLEVELMOM mothers (on the household member, children 0-4 and 5-17 units of analysis)
EDLEVELDAD fathers (on the household member unit of analysis).
In many samples, EDGRADE can be used in combination with the level of education to make finer educational determinations. For example, if EDLEVEL is primary and EDGRADE is 4, the person completed the 4th grade of primary school.
Additionally, EDLEVELDET provides full details for the level of education for each person.
