"Variables are ordered according to the sections of the GGS questionnaire used for the GGP-II data collection (the second round of GGP data collection). The sections are: Demographics, Life Histories, Fertility, Households, Generations, Wellbeing, Work, Income, Attitudes , Report. Although we encourage the countries to strictly follow the GGS Questionnaire, countries might implement a question that differs to a considerable extent from the GGS Questionnaire. In this case either we add country specific response values, or we introduce a country specific variable. Country specific values are added when the question follows the model questionnaire, but the answers are not at all or partly compatible.They are at least 4 digits long (F4 format) and begin with the country code: e.g., Australia 2401. Hence, the country code, as an example, for Australia is 24. A country specific variable is introduced when the question differs from the model questionnaire albeit measuring the same concept. This kind of variables is identified with a suffix given by the country code plus a number, e.g., Australia a119_2401. In order to have an overview of GGS country codes, please refer to the variable Country.
