READ ME Data Cleaning & Analysis for the Paper Household Transitions Between Ages 5 and 15 Years and Educational Outcomes: Fathers and Grandparents in Peru By Sarah Anne Reynolds (sar48@berkeley.edu) Published in Demographic Research The Young Lives datasets from each round of household and child surveys and our school surveys are publicly archived and available to download from https://www.younglives.org.uk/use-our-data The data files generated by these do files create a child-level data panel of the around 2000 children participating in Young Lives Peru. The cleaned and compiled data contain information on family structure, cognitive and schooling outcomes, anthropometric outcomes (HAZ & BMI), and household characteristics (e.g. poverty). Analysis in Stata 14 To run the do files, your data directory should have 6 folders: rounds 1-5 and constructed. You may need to adjust the subsequent paths, as sometimes Young Lives updates these. To your project folder add the following folders: * “Working Data” with subfolder “Intermediate” * Output * Graphs * Do Files – save the downloaded do files here Install https://www.who.int/growthref/tools/readme_stata.pdf for growth reference calculations (this is not part of this paper, but part of the outcomes do file, so alternatively you could star out the portion of the files related to anthropometrics) Run Master.do
