RE: st: RE: count number of working adult

["Cohen, Elan" <cohened@upmc.edu>]

I can't think of a way without looping.  Maybe someone else can.

g numadultwork = 0
forv i=1/11 {
  replace numadultwork = numadultwork + (age`i'>17 & !mi(age`i'))*(working`i'==1)
}


- Elan

Thanks Elan. I can get it work in the long version of the data, but
was wondering about the ways to do it in the WIDE format. I can go
back and forth from wide-long-wide, but in general I am interested in
getting "working adult' in the wide format in Stata.
