Dear Statalist Members!
I am using STATA 12.1 and working with the person file of a household census. My aim is to reclassify the 14 categories of relationships to head in the census, based on women aged 15-49 in that particular household as the unit of reference. I want to ascertain the living arrangements of this group of interest, whether they live with people from their own generation (e.g Brother, Sister) and/or people from the previous generation (e.g Parent, Uncle, Aunt). What i first did was create dummy variables for all the household relation categories to head which show whether or not a woman aged 15-49 years was present/absent in a household. For ease of explanation i am going to use 1 household category (Son/Daughter), the code i used to establish the presence of a woman in a household in this category was through creation of a variable 'daughter.'
In households where daughters were present, i created another variable 'relation_daughter' which captures how the rest of the household is related to the daughter of the head
In the given household, relation_daughter shows how everyone else would be related to her if she was the unit of reference.
My issues are 1) I would have preferred a way of recoding that would have shown who the daughter lived with without me having to pull out the household because it gets messy with many categories and variables, how best can i do that? 2)There are cases of 2 or more daughters in a household who meet the criteria, how can i code them separately
