Dear Stata List,
I would like to –reshape- my data.
Currently, my data is arranged such that the age-specific populations appear as one observation for each year and sex:
Year UN_Name Un_Code Sex Age15 Age20 Age25……Age80 Reg6 Reg14
2005 Albania 8 1 500 466 453 150 Eur EurD
2006 Albania 8 1 550 500 498 160 Eur EurD
2010 Albania 8 1 600 567 542 165 Eur EurD
2005 Albania 8 2 400 395 350 140 Eur EurD
2006 Albania 8 2 498 445 390 121 Eur EurD
2010 Albania 8 2 534 500 486 133 Eur EurD
2005 Andorra 20 1 500 450 423 100 Eur EurC
2006 Andorra 20 1 534 480 420 110 Eur EurC
……
I would like to reshape it so that for every year and sex, each age in the age-specific population is one observation and appears alongside the population number it represents to be as:
Year UN_Name Un_Code Sex Age Pop Reg6 Reg14
2005 Albania 8 1 Age15 500 Eur EurD
2005 Albania 8 1 Age20 466 Eur EurD
2005 Albania 8 1 Age25 453 Eur EurD
2005 Albania 8 1 Age30 …….
..
..
2005 Albania 8 2 Age15 400 Eur EurD
2005 Albania 8 2 Age20 395 Eur EurD
2005 Albania 8 2 Age25 350 Eur EurD
2005 Albania 8 2 Age30 …… Eur EurD
..
I tried to reshape my data when I ran into several errors + there is the added complication of creating a two new variables of « Age » and « Pop ».
Will be grateful for your help.
Regards,
Gauri
