ESS5 Error in education mapping for Israel

A mapping error has been detected for Israeli respondents with background from the former Soviet Union education system (eduil2).

A mapping error has been detected for Israeli respondents with background from the former Soviet Union education system (eduil2).

After data collection, category 229 of eduil1 (the item related to the Israeli education system) was re-mapped from edulvlb 229 to 311. Accidentally, this re-mapping was also performed for category 229 of eduil2 (the item related to the Soviet Union education system). The latter should have remained in ISCED category 229.

Only 5 respondents (IDNOs: 2155, 2564, 2586, 2645, 2722) are affected by this error, and the following syntax (SPSS) will rectify the error:

IF (eduil2 = 229) edulvlb = 229.
EXECUTE.

The error will be corrected in future updates of the ESS5 data.

ESS10 Error in variables TTMINO12 (G15), TTMINPNT (G27), United Kingdom

An error has been detected in the United Kingdom data related to variables TTMINO12 ("Travel time to child aged 12 or over, in minutes") and TTMINPNT ("Travel time to parent, in minutes").

An error has been detected in the United Kingdom data related to variables TTMINO12 ("Travel time to child aged 12 or over, in minutes") and TTMINPNT ("Travel time to parent, in minutes").

The data currently available in the data portal for these two variables (in the UK) reflects only the hour component of the questions, hence all substantive values in the datafile refers to hours and not minutes.

Corrected variables will be published in the next update of the integrated ESS10 data file. In the meantime, correct versions of TTMINO12 and TTMINPNT may be obtained by request to the archive via email.
