¹A small number of age misreporting across SYPE waves led to inconsistencies. As we cannot determine in which wave is correct, we categorize individuals based on their age reported in the 2013/14 wave, and calculate their commensurate age for 2009. This resulted in 274 individuals that were ages below the age of 10 in 2009, which was the SYPE age inclusion threshold.
