Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
If the variable is not available in the original data, it can be generated using the highest level of education attained. However, the number of years of schooling required to complete different education levels is country specific.
If the level of education attained is also not provided, this variable will be missing.
Only the years of schooling successfully completed should be counted. Thus, those repeated should not be taken into consideration while generating this variable.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Generated by the ERF.
The highest level of education attained (q_110) was used to estimate the number of years of schooling completed.
Those who can read & write were assumed to have completed 2 years.
150 cases reported to have entered school at a very young age though no corrections could be done for those cases.
