Abstract

In this presentation, I aim to show how to produce informative descriptive statistics from a longitudinal survey using the Mexican Family Life Survey (MXFLS) as an example. I will introduce the audience to the MXFLS and discuss its main innovative features, such as the sample design, the attitudes toward the risk module, and the migration module (including the monitoring and rate of recontact). Then I will show how to tabulate the data in an informative way and how to produce descriptive statistics using the provided survey weights.
