Note that the version numbers for the latest versions of NIDS have not been updated in the do files in the program library that has been made available to assist researchers with data manipulation. Data users should update the global to the version of the data they are using. \n\nVersion 1 of the National Income Dynamics Study wave 4 2014-2015 public release dataset was produced on the 12th of May 2016\n\nCHANGES IN VERSION 1.1\nChanges from Panel weights and post-stratified weights:\nChanges were made to the weight variables, w4_pweight in the indderived data file and the w4_wgt in the hhderived data file. Changes in these variables were caused by:\nMissing panel weights for some babies born to CSM mothers after Wave 1 (2008). \nOne (now adult) respondent with a missing weight. \nCSM\/TSM Changes:\nThe following CSM\/ TSM changes were made to the data.\nPID 721857 - Is a TSM who was incorrectly reflected as a CSM.\nPID 682522 - This child was previously not recorded as being resident in any household. Her record has now been corrected to reflect that she is a resident in the household in which she shares with her mother.\nPID 617044 - This individual was interviewed under pid 622914. Pid 617044 has now been removed as it is a duplicate of pid 622914.\nInterview dates\nTo correct a data error an update was made to 13 questionnaires to update their month of interview from September 2014 to October 2014.\n\nCHANGES IN VERSION 2.0.0\nVersion 2.0.0 of NIDS wave 4 includes changes to the number of individuals and households in each data file, largely driven by previously incorrect classification of TSM\/CSM status, duplicate interviews and additional baby CSMs not captured in a previous version of this wave. Version 2.0.0 also contains new and renamed variables, and there are changes to the survey weights.

The survey was designed to give effect to the dimensions of the well-being of South Africans, to be tracked over time. At the broadest level, these were:\nWealth creation in terms of income and expenditure dynamics and asset endowments;\nDemographic dynamics as these relate to household composition and migration; \nSocial heritage, including education and employment dynamics, the impact of life events (including positive and negative shocks), social capital and intergenerational developments;  \nAccess to cash transfers and social services \n\nWave 1 of the panel survey, conducted in 2008, collected the detailed information for the national sample. \nWaves 2 to 4 of the panel survey re-interviewed respondents interviewed in previous waves, gathering information on developments in their lives over the years.\n\nCompleted and non-response interviews in the NIDS data:\nThe NIDS datasets contain both completed and non-response interviews (e.g. Refusals). It is recommended that researchers limit their research to completed interviews to avoid item non-response from non-response interviews. The completed interviews can be identified by making use of the w`x'_`y'_outcome variables, where `x' represents the wave and `y' represents the relevant data file\/outcome type indicator. These outcome variables can be found in each of the following data files, Adult, Child, Proxy, HHQuestionnaire and Link File.\nThe only exception to this is Wave 1 where no outcome variable exists. This is because at a household level, all of the interviews are completed. However this does not apply at an individual level where non-response interviews can be identified by making use of the \"Reason for refusal\" variables, namely w1_a_refexpl or w1_c_refexpl in the Adult and Child data files respectively.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2014","end":"2015","cycle":"Wave 4"}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"zaf"}],"geog_coverage":"The NIDS data is nationally representative.
