<p><u><strong>Comments</strong></u><br>
<strong>IPUMS:</strong> Age is only available as grouped intervals which differ slightly from the age range required for this indicator in the following samples: United Kingdom 2001 (includes ages 16-19). These samples are included for this indicator, but should be interpreted with caution. Age is only available as grouped intervals which are incompatible with the age range required for this indicator in the following samples, which are excluded from this indicator: Israel 1983 (closest interval is 15-17).<br></p> |
