As I said in my post assume the father is always the head of
household for this simple example. This is a simple example
as I stated before. My data has much more information
(head, spouse, grandparents, brother-in-law, etc.) than my
simple example. The point of my post was to deal with the
missing values when assigning the head of household (father)
characteristic to each individual regardless of the family
structure. I am aware of family structures especially in the
Mexican data that I am using, but for this post in dealing
with missing values this is beside the point for me.
