Derived variables: higher education

STATA CODE

Name of derived variable:	HEDUCAT0
Variable label:	Whether has degree (or higher qualification) at 2001 Census
Categories:	1 "Has degree” 0 "No degree"
Derived from:	HLQP0, QUP0 (both in ME01)
Study group:	People present at 2001 Census and aged 16-74 years
Exclusions:	Only people aged 16-74 were asked about qualifications. Full time students who were not at their term-time address were not asked about qualifications (though some were enumerated also at their term-time address even though they were absent). All these people will have a missing value at HEDUCAT0.
Imputation:	The code sets HEDUCAT0 to missing if education was imputed.
Likely uses:	HLQP0 has HNV and HND in the highest qualification category – this variable does not, but distinguishes graduates specifically.
