Day 8Family and contextual influences

Existing variables

• The various datasets already have a number of basic kinship variables such as counts of various types of kin.– Next slide is parental survival

• When creating kinship variables, be careful about mixing them with existing kinship variables– Kinship variables are sensitive to assumptions

made in their creation, so be consistent

Basic principles for locating descendants in same year

• Sons– Males in the same YEAR whose FATHER_ID is same as individual’s PERSON_ID

• Daughters – Never-married females (MARITAL_STATUS == 2) in the same YEAR whose

FATHER_ID is same as an individual’s PERSON_ID• Married daughters-in-law

– Married women (MARITAL_STATUS == 1 or 4) in the same year whose FATHER_ID is same as individual’s PERSON_ID

– For married and widowed women, kinship identifiers for father, mother etc. all refer to in-laws

• Widowed daughters-in-law– Widowed women (MARITAL_STATUS == 3) in the same year whose FATHER_ID

is same as individual’s PERSON_ID• Grandchildren

– Same as above, but look for values of GRANDFATHER_ID that match PERSON_ID

Counting descendants alive in the current register year

• Sons– Create for each unique combination of FATHER_ID and YEAR

• Number of people who have specified FATHER_ID in the current register year

– Rename FATHER_ID to PERSON_ID and save– Load original file and merge on PERSON_ID and YEAR

• Grandsons– Do the same, except use GRANDFATHER_ID

• Could do this with MOTHER_ID and GRANDMOTHER_ID as well– Would need minor adjustments

Counting up sons (or grandsons) with specified characteristics

• Apply additional restrictions in keep to count up sons or grandsons with specified characteristics

• The following adds a restriction so that only boys aged 1 to 10 sui are included in the count.

• Could just as well have been sons with position, or other characteristics such as marriage.

Locating members of the same generation

• Brothers– Males in the same YEAR who have the same FATHER_ID

• Sisters– Never-married females in the same YEAR who have the same FATHER_ID

• Sisters-in-law– Married or widowed females in the same YEAR who have the same

FATHER_ID• Male cousins

– Males in the same YEAR with the same GRANDFATHER_ID but a different FATHER_ID

• Male second cousins– Males in the same YEAR with the same F_ID_3 but a different

GRANDFATHER_ID and FATHER_ID

Coresidence

• Can also group on HOUSEHOLD_ID to distinguish between sets of kin living in separate households

• For that matter, could also group on village identifier to identify kin in other versus same village

• Coresidence only makes sense from 1789 on

Variables measured according to location within a generation

• Can sort members grouped by GRANDFATHER_ID, FATHER_ID etc. to measure characteristics relative to other members of the same generation

• Sort men with the same FATHER_ID by BIRTHYEAR to order brothers according to seniority

• Can count up unmarried older brothers (for example) with a running total of MARITAL_STATUS == 2 within FATHER_ID and YEAR, minus 1 for unmarried men.

Kin with specified characteristics

• Use egen to count up kin with specified characteristics

• Following example counts up uncles with position

• Could just as well count up uncles meeting any criteria of interest– Age, marital status, etc.

Fixed characteristics of individuals in previous times

• So far all examples have been characteristics of kin in the same year

• For analysis of influence of early-life characteristics, can construct measures of interest at one age (e.g. number of brothers when first observed) and copy forward to later records.

• In some cases, would like to collapse information from multiple records of father, grandfather, etc. to produce a single variable

• Typical example: did a father or grandfather hold a position at any point in his life– Regardless of whether he is still alive– Indeed, regardless of whether grandfather died before index

individual was born
