--> Variables starting with “a” and end with “_number” where number is the grade under consideration

Percentage of the population ages 20 to 29 that has completed each grade (grades 1 to 9)
--> Variables starting with “a2” and end with “_number” where number is the grade under consideration

Percentage of the population ages 30 to 39 that has completed each grade (grades 1 to 9)
--> Variables starting with “a3” and end with “_number” where number is the grade under consideration

Percentage of the population ages 40 to 49 that has completed each grade (grades 1 to 9)
--> Variables starting with “a4” and end with “_number” where number is the grade under consideration

Median grade attained by the population ages 15 to 19
--> Variables starting with “m1519”

Survival function estimates of the proportion of the population ages 6 to 19 that has completed each grade
--> Variables starting with “s” and end with “_number” where number is the grade under consideration

Percentage of the population ages 6 to 17, by age in single years, that has ever attended school
--> Variables starting with “e” and end with “_number” where number is the age under consideration

Percentage of the population ages 6 to 17, by age in single years, that is currently in school
--> Variables starting with “c” and end with “_number” where number is the age under consideration

Percentage of the population ages 6 to 11 (as a group) that is currently in school
--> Variables starting with “c611”

Percentage of the population ages 12 to 14 (as a group) that is currently in school
--> Variables starting with “c1214”

Percentage of the population ages 6 to 14 (as a group) that is currently in school
--> Variables starting with “c614”

Estimate of the concentration index (and its standard error*) of the percentage of the population ages 15 to 19 that has completed grade 6 – where the welfare ranking used to calculate the concentration index is based on an index of consumer durables and housing characteristics
--> mci_a6 (sci_m6)

Estimate of the concentration index (and its standard error*) of the percentage of the population ages 6 to 14 that has is currently in school – where the welfare ranking used to calculate the concentration index is based on an index of consumer durables and housing characteristics
--> mci_c614 (sci_c614)

Estimate of the concentration index (and its standard error*) of the percentage of the population ages 15 to 19 that has completed grade 6 – where the welfare ranking used to calculate the concentration index is based on per capita household consumption-expenditures
--> mcix_a6 (scix_m6)

Estimate of the concentration index (and its standard error*) of the percentage of the population ages 6 to 14 that has is currently in school – where the welfare ranking used to calculate the concentration index is based on per capita household consumption-expenditures
--> mcix_c614 (scix_c614)

* Standard errors are calculated from between 200 and 1000 bootstrap replications of the concentration index calculation.
