Hello,
I have two questions regarding the use of the ATUS time use data, that I’ll be thankful for your response to:
- I couldn’t find a guide regarding the use of weights (the ordinary person weights) in Stata. Are there some instructions for that?
- I encountered why I think is an odd phenomenon. I looked at time variables for time spent with children and limited the analysis only to households in which there is a child (or more than one). However, there is still a large share of the sample - about 22%, who report 0 time spent with children although they live in a household in which there is a child. This seems rather unlikely, so I’d like to ask whether you know something about a possible reason for that (that will allow me to determine whether I can drop these observations from my sample).
Thank you very much
