Quang,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know the age of
each child in the year of migration. There are several problems with
your post. The excerpt from your data has line breaks and is difficult
to read. The relationship codes are not explained. The meaning of the
variables Y1, Y2 and Y3 is not clear. Most importantly, there don't
seem to be variables with a person's age or year of birth. Without
this information it is not be possible to calculate a child's age in
any given year.
