Dear Statalisters,
I�m working with an employment database, which has data of working
people (self-employment or others), their age and sex (male -1 - or
female -2-). I'd like to calculate the percentage, by range of age, of
males and females who works as self-employed, but I need to calculate
this considering as the 100% of people those who belong to the
categories generated by age and sex (males or females), I mean NOT
considering as the 100% the total of people being self - employed
males or females without taking into account the age.
I'm using the next command (as Maarten Buis adviced me in another, but
similar problem):
noi tab age self-employed if sex == 1, row
noi tab age self-employed if sex == 2, row
But doing it this way Stata gives the percentage of male or female
sel-employed persons by age considering as the 100% the total of males
o females being self - employed, not the 100% of persons satisfying
those conditions AND the range of age.
I�d appreciate your help because I cannot figure out how to do it.
Thanks a lot,
Leonor
