USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
The purpose of this variable is to incorporate maximum occupational
data, which may be for past OR present employment. The difference
between the data in VCF0115 [which remains unchanged] and data in
VCF0151 [new var] is that VCF0151 also includes some occupation data
excluded from VCF0115. The occupation data present in VCF0151 but
absent from VCF0115 are for Rs considered "students" and
"housewives"-- either nonworking (past employment) or presently
working some hours (1966-1970: any number of hours; 1972 and later:
less than 20 hours per week). Occupational data corresponding to
such respondents was not present at all in 1952,1956,1958,1960,1964
studies, for which VCF0115 and VCF0151 are identical.
NOTE: TO RENDER VCF0151 COMPARABLE TO VCF0115, USE VCF0116,CF0118
OR VCF0150 AS A FILTER:
1- if VCF0116=8 then VCF0151=0, if VCF0116=7 then VCF0151=6; OR:
2- if VCF0118=5 then VCF0151=0, if VCF0118=4 then VCF0151=6; OR:
3- if VCF0150 in(80,81) then VCF0151=0,
if VCF0150 in(70,71,75) then VCF0151=6.
