silc_ind_deprivation

Compute common EU-SILC material deprivation indicators for longitudinal dataset.

% silc_ind_deprivation(survey, geo, time, odsn, 
                idir=, olib=, n=3, n_sev=4, n_ext=5, 
                cds_transxyear=&G_PING_TRANSMISSIONxYEAR, clib=&G_PING_LIBCFG);

Arguments

• survey : type of the survey; this can be any of the character values defined through the global variable G_PING_SURVEYTYPES, i.e.:
  • X. C or CROSS for a cross-sectional survey,
  • L or LONG for a longitudinal survey,
  • E or EARLY for an early survey,
• geo : countries list;
• time : year list;
• odsn : (option) name of output dataset;
• n : (option) number of items used as threshold for deprived condition; by default, n is set to the value of the global variable G_PING_DEPR_N (i.e., n=3);
• n_sev : (option) number of items used as threshold for severe deprived condition; by default, n_sev is set to the value of the global variable G_PING_DEPR_N_SEV (i.e., n_sev=4);
• n_ext : (option) number of items used as threshold for extreme deprived condition; by default, n_ext is set to the value of the global variable G_PING_DEPR_N_EXT (i.e., n_ext=5);
• olib : (option) name of the output library; by default: empty, i.e. WORK is used.

Returns

In dataset dsn, the variables deprived, sev_dep and ext_dep defined over the population as follows:

• for material deprivation deprived:

  value	description	condition
  0	not deprived	lack < n item(s)
  1	deprived	lack >= n item(s)

• for severe material deprivation sev_dep:

  value	description	condition
  0	not deprived	lack < n_sev item(s)
  1	deprived	lack >= n_sev item(s)

• for extreme material deprivation ext_dep:

  value	description	condition
  0	not deprived	lack < n_ext item(s)
  1	deprived	lack >= n_ext item(s)

  Examples

We can run the macro %silc_ind_deprivation with:

%let geo=AT;
%let time=2010;
%silc_ind_deprivation(dsn, &geo, &time);

returns in dsn the following values for the deprived, sev_sep and ext_dep variables:

HB010	HB020	HB030	deprived	sev_dep	ext_dep
2010	AT	2658500	0	0	0
2010	AT	2658700	1	0	0
...	..	...	...	...	...

Similarly, we can run the macro with:

%let geo=AT BE;
%let time=2013;
%let n_ext=8;
%silc_ind_deprivation(dsn, &geo, &time, n_ext=&n_ext);

returns in dsn the following values for the deprived, sev_sep and ext_dep variables:

HB010	HB020	HB030	deprived	sev_dep	ext_dep
2010	AT	2658500	0	0	0
2010	BE	4924400	0	0	0
2011	AT	2658500	0	0	0
2011	BE	4924400	0	0	0
...	..	...	...	...	...
