Add Child Protection Barriers to Education Variable

This function adds a dummy variable for child protection barriers to education in individual-level data and aggregates it to household-level data.

Prerequisite function:

• add_loop_edu_ind_age_corrected.R

Usage

add_loop_edu_barrier_protection_d(
  loop,
  barriers = "edu_barrier",
  protection_issues = c("protection_at_school", "protection_travel_school",
    "child_work_home", "child_work_outside", "child_armed_group", "child_marriage",
    "child_pregnancy", "ban", "enroll_lack_documentation", "discrimination"),
  ind_schooling_age_d = "edu_ind_age_schooling",
  barriers_undefined = c("dnk", "pnta", "other"),
  non_protection_issues = c("costs", "lack_interest", "not_priority",
    "lack_accessible_school", "lack_classrooms", "lack_wash_facilities", "school_closed",
    "lack_teacher", "curriculum_not_useful", "child_health", "language",
    "enroll_displacement", "child_too_young", "child_graduated")
)

add_loop_edu_barrier_protection_d_to_main(
  main,
  loop,
  ind_barrier_protection_d = "edu_ind_barrier_protection_d",
  id_col_main = "uuid",
  id_col_loop = "uuid"
)

Arguments

loop

A data frame of individual-level data for the loop.

barriers

Column name for the child protection barrier category.

protection_issues

Vector of protection issues RESPONSE CODES. Values in this set are flagged as protection barriers. Must not overlap barriers_undefined or non_protection_issues.

ind_schooling_age_d

Column name for the dummy variable of schooling age.

barriers_undefined

Vector of undefined/non-response values. These are accepted but treated as non-barriers. Defaults to common survey non-responses: "dnk", "pnta", "other". Must not overlap protection_issues or non_protection_issues.

non_protection_issues

Vector of valid non-protection barrier RESPONSE CODES (access barriers and flag codes). Values in this set are accepted as valid, but do not affect the edu_ind_barrier_protection_d dummy. Defaults to the non-protection response codes of the standard edu_barrier question. Must not overlap protection_issues or barriers_undefined.

main

A data frame of household-level data.

ind_barrier_protection_d

Column name for the dummy variable of the child protection barrier category.

id_col_main

Column name for the unique identifier in the main dataset.

id_col_loop

Column name for the unique identifier in the loop dataset.

Value

A data frame with an additional column:

• edu_ind_barrier_protection_d: Dummy variable indicating if a school-aged child faces a protection barrier (1) or not (0).

A data frame with an additional column:

edu_barrier_protection_n

Count of school-aged children facing protection barriers in each household.
