Values in the range 01-16 represent the actual grade of school completed, e.g., a value of 08 indicates that the Head completed the eighth grade. A code value of 17 indicates that the Head completed at least some postgraduate work. This variable contains values from 1993 family-level data, although information about completed education is not asked annually. Values were computed as follows:

If it is not known whether Head attended college (V23290=9) or the number of years of college is unknown (V23293=9), then the value is 99.

If Head attended college (V23290=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended (V23293).

Otherwise, if Head did not attend college, (V23290=5), the values are as follows:

(a) if Head is a high school graduate (V23279=1), the value is 12;
(b) if Head recevied a GED (V23279=2), the value is the last grade finished (V23282);
(c) if Head neither graduated from high school, nor got a GED (V23279=3), the value is the last grade finished (V23287);
(d) if it is not known whether Head graduated from high school, got a GED, or neither (V23279=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

This variable differs from the individual level variable V30820 in the treatment of Heads who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such heads is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12. Education was reasked of all Heads in 1985.

ER24148 "COMPLETED ED-HD" Var Index
2003 Head's Completed Education Level
Values in the range 1-16 represent the actual grade of school completed; e.g., a value of 8 indicates that the Head completed the eighth grade. A code value of 17 indicates that the Head completed at least some postgraduate work. Values were computed as follows: If it is not known whether Head attended college (ER23446=8 or 9) or the number of years of college is unknown (ER23449=8 or 9), then the value is 99. Otherwise, if Head attended college (ER23446=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended (ER23449). Otherwise, if Head did not attend college, (ER23446=5), the values are as follows:
(a) if Head is a high school graduate (ER23435=1), the value is 12;
(b) if Head received a GED (ER23435=2), the value is the last grade finished
(ER23438);
(c) if Head neither graduated from high school nor got a GED (ER23435=3), the value is the last grade finished (ER23443);
(d) if it is not known whether Head graduated from high school, got a GED, or
neither (ER23435=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Head. In cases where the Head has remained the same person from the previous interview (ER23388=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was reasked of all Heads in 1985. See ER24153 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER33716 in the treatment of Heads who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Heads is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.

(a) if Wife/"Wife" is a high school graduate (ER23343=1), the value is 12;
(b) if Wife/"Wife" received a GED (ER23343=2), the value is the last grade finished (ER23346);
(c) if Wife/"Wife" neither graduated from high school nor got a GED (ER23343=3), the value is the last grade finished (ER23351);
(d) if it is not known whether Wife/"Wife" graduated from high school, got a GED, or neither (ER23343=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Wife/"Wife". In cases where the Wife/"Wife" has remained the same person from the previous interview (ER23303=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was asked of all Wives/"Wives" in 1985. See ER24154 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER33716 in the treatment of Wives/"Wives" who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Wives/"Wives" is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.

ER28047 "COMPLETED ED-HD" Var Index
Head's Completed Education Level
Values in the range 1-16 represent the actual grade of school completed; e.g., a value of 8 indicates that the Head completed the eighth grade. A code value of 17 indicates that the Head completed at least some postgraduate work. Values were computed as follows: If it is not known whether Head attended college (ER27413=8 or 9) or the number of years of college is unknown (ER27416=8 or 9), then the value is 99. Otherwise, if Head attended college (ER27413=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended (ER27416). Otherwise, if Head did not attend college, (ER27413=5), the values are as follows:

(a) if Head is a high school graduate (ER27402=1), the value is 12;

(b) if Head received a GED (ER27402=2), the value is the last grade finished
(ER27405);

(c) if Head neither graduated from high school nor got a GED (ER27402=3), the value is the last grade finished (ER27410);

(d) if it is not known whether Head graduated from high school, got a GED, or
neither (ER27402=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Head. In cases where the Head has remained the same person from the previous interview (ER27352=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was reasked of all Heads in 1985. See ER28052 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER33817 in the treatment of Heads who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Heads is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.

ER41037 "COMPLETED ED-HD" Var Index
Head's Completed Education Level
Values in the range 1-16 represent the actual grade of school completed; e.g., a value of 8 indicates that the Head completed the eighth grade. A code value of 17 indicates that the Head completed at least some postgraduate work. Values were computed as follows: If it is not known whether Head attended college (ER40585=8 or 9) or the number of years of college is unknown (ER40588=8 or 9), then the value is 99. Otherwise, if Head attended college (ER40585=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended (ER40588). Otherwise, if Head did not attend college, (ER40585=5), the values are as follows:

(a) if Head is a high school graduate (ER40574=1), the value is 12;

(b) if Head received a GED (ER40574=2), the value is the last grade finished
(ER40577);

(c) if Head neither graduated from high school nor got a GED (ER40574=3), the value is the last grade finished (ER40582);

(d) if it is not known whether Head graduated from high school, got a GED, or
neither (ER40574=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Head. In cases where the Head has remained the same person from the previous interview (ER40527=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was reasked of all Heads in 1985. See ER41042 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER33917 in the treatment of Heads who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Heads is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.

Otherwise, if Wife/"Wife" attended college (ER40492=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended (ER40495). Otherwise, if Wife/"Wife" did not attend college, (ER40492=5), the values are as follows:

ER46981 "COMPLETED ED-HD" Var Index
Head's Completed Education Level
Release 2 Note: An error was corrected for how Completed Education for Head (ER46981) and for Wife/"Wife" (ER46982) were calculated for old Heads and Wives/"Wive's". Since all education questions were re-asked in 2009, completed education summary variables should have been re-calculated based on this new information for old Heads and Wives/"Wives" collected in 2009. The correction included bringing the corrected 2009 data forward to 2011.

Values in the range 1-16 represent the actual grade of school completed; e.g., a value of 8 indicates that the Head completed the eighth grade. A code value of 17 indicates that the Head completed at least some postgraduate work. Values were computed as follows: If it is not known whether Head attended college (ER46563=8 or 9) or the number of years of college is unknown (ER46566=8 or 9), then the value is 99. Otherwise, if Head attended college (ER46563=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended (ER46566). Otherwise, if Head did not attend college, (ER46563=5), the values are as follows:

(a) if Head is a high school graduate (ER46552=1), the value is 12;

(b) if Head received a GED (ER46552=2), the value is the last grade finished
(ER46555);

(c) if Head neither graduated from high school nor got a GED (ER46552=3), the value is the last grade finished (ER46560);

(d) if it is not known whether Head graduated from high school, got a GED, or
neither (ER46552=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Head. In cases where the Head has remained the same person from the previous interview (ER46504=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was reasked of all Heads in 1985 and 2009. See ER46950 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER34020 in the treatment of Heads who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Heads is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.

Values were computed as follows: If it is not known whether Wife/"Wife" attended college (ER46469=8 or 9) or the number of years of college is unknown (ER46472=8 or 9), then the value is 99. Otherwise, if Wife/"Wife" attended college (ER46469=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended (ER46472). Otherwise, if Wife/"Wife" did not attend college, (ER46469=5), the values are as follows:

(a) if Wife/"Wife" is a high school graduate (ER46458=1), the value is 12;

(b) if Wife/"Wife" received a GED (ER46458=2), the value is the last grade finished (ER46461);

(c) if Wife/"Wife" neither graduated from high school nor got a GED (ER46458=3), the value is the last grade finished (ER46466);

(d) if it is not known whether Wife/"Wife" graduated from high school, got a GED, or neither (ER46458=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Wife/"Wife". In cases where the Wife/"Wife" has remained the same person from the previous interview (ER46410=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was asked of all Wives/"Wives" in 1985 and 2009. See ER46951 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER34020 in the treatment of Wives/"Wives" who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Wives/"Wives" is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.

ER52405 "COMPLETED ED-HD" Var Index
Head's Completed Education Level
Release 2 Note: An error was corrected for how Completed Education for Head (ER52405) and for Wive/"Wife"(ER52406) were calculated for old Heads and Wives/"Wive's". Since all education questions were re-asked in 2009, completed education summary variables should have been re-calculated in 2009 based on this new information for old Heads and Wives/"Wives". The correction included bringing the corrected 2009 data forward to 2011.


Values in the range 1-16 represent the actual grade of school completed; e.g., a value of 8 indicates that the Head completed the eighth grade. A code value of 17 indicates that the Head completed at least some postgraduate work. Values were computed as follows: If it is not known whether Head attended college ( ER51924=8 or 9) or the number of years of college is unknown ( ER51927=8 or 9), then the value is 99. Otherwise, if Head attended college ( ER51924=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended ( ER51927). Otherwise, if Head did not attend college, ( ER51924=5), the values are as follows:

(a) if Head is a high school graduate ( ER51913=1), the value is 12;

(b) if Head received a GED ( ER51913=2), the value is the last grade finished
( ER51916);

(c) if Head neither graduated from high school nor got a GED ( ER51913=3), the value is the last grade finished ( ER51921);

(d) if it is not known whether Head graduated from high school, got a GED, or
neither ( ER51913=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Head. In cases where the Head has remained the same person from the previous interview ( ER51865=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was reasked of all Heads in 1985 and 2011. See ER52354 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER34119 in the treatment of Heads who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Heads is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.

Wife's/"Wife's" Completed Education Level
Release 2 Note: An error was corrected for how Completed Education for Head (ER52405) and for Wive/"Wife"(ER52406) were calculated for old Heads and Wives/"Wive's". Since all education questions were re-asked in 2009, completed education summary variables should have been re-calculated in 2009 based on this new information for old Heads and Wives/"Wives". The correction included bringing the corrected 2009 data forward to 2011.


Values in the range 1-16 represent the actual grade of school completed; e.g., a value of 8 indicates that the Wife/"Wife" completed the eighth grade. A code value of 17 indicates that the Wife/"Wife" completed at least some postgraduate work. Values were computed as follows: If it is not known whether Wife/"Wife" attended college ( ER51830=8 or 9) or the number of years of college is unknown ( ER51833=8 or 9), then the value is 99. Otherwise, if Wife/"Wife" attended college ( ER51830=1), then the value is 12 plus the number of years of college attended ( ER51833). Otherwise, if Wife/"Wife" did not attend college, ( ER51830=5), the values are as follows:

(a) if Wife/"Wife" is a high school graduate ( ER51819=1), the value is 12;

(b) if Wife/"Wife" received a GED ( ER51819=2), the value is the last grade finished ( ER51822);

(d) if it is not known whether Wife/"Wife" graduated from high school, got a GED, or neither ( ER51819=8 or 9), then the value is 99.

Education is asked only when the FU acquires a new Wife/"Wife". In cases where the Wife/"Wife" has remained the same person from the previous interview ( ER51771=5), this variable has been carried forward from previous years' data with no updating or other change. Education was asked of all Wives/"Wives" in 1985 and 2011. See ER52355 for the recency of this information.

This variable differs from the individual level variable ER34119 in the treatment of Wives/"Wives" who received a GED but did not attend college. The family-level variable value for such Wives/"Wives" is the grade completed; for the individual-level variable, the value is 12.
