Note:
/ CH: EDUCYRS is asked in two steps, because the fact that a majority of the Swiss population does an apprenticeship has to be considered. Apprenticeship can be done as dual education (in enterprise and school) as well as in fulltime schools. It is important to avoid its inclusion in the first question. It is asked separately in the second question. EDUCYRS is then computed by adding the numbers of years of the two questions. A significant number of respondents, however, gave no answer to the first question, but answered to the second. As the most frequent compulsory schooling are 9 years, a correction was made for reintroducing those cases on the variable EDUCYRS .
/ DK: Replies with more than 50 years were recoded to missing value -9 'No answer'.
/ ES: This seems to be a difficult question in self-completion mode, there is a higher percentage of no answer compared to face to face mode used in the past.
/ FR: EDUCYRS=Age at the end of education minus 6 (school starting age); if still in education (MAINSTAT=3): AGE minus 6 (school starting age).
/ IS: Please note that EDUCYRS might not include full years of education. According to the 1907 law farmer's children were supposed to be at least 2 months a year in school and children who lived in towns for 6 months a year. This difference between rural and 'urban' areas stayed for a long time and in fact stayed in some form all up until 1991. Respondents could be adding up the months they attended school and transform that into whole years since they went to school for such a short periods at a time. When adding up, they might have attended school for one or two months each semester (for the age 7/ 8/ 9 until 12/ 13/ 14). Originally, the values included decimal numbers to reflect the true situation. The values were retrospectively rounded to whole numbers following the required ISSP standard for this variable.
/ SE: Gymnasium = secondary school.
/ ZA: Although the question 'How many years of full time education have you completed?' was asked, the decision was made to rather derive the number of years for EDUCYRS from the question on the highest educational qualification (see ZA_ISCD) due to extreme inaccuracies in this variable.
