All dependent variables are equal to 1 when they are still included in the sample and 0 when they are to be excluded from the sample. Age refers to the age in 1999. Scotland refers to the fact that the individual was recorded as resident in Scotland in 1999 and are given a value of zero if they are resident in England or Wales in 1999. Note that two individuals do not report their age and therefore these are individual were given their original cross-sectional weights with no adjustments. Income is equivalised annual income measured in thousands of pounds.
