COORDINATE Harmonisation Workshop 1 – Harmonising survey data on child wellbeing
This workshop consists of three parts. Haridhan Goswami from the Manchester Metropolitan University gives a brief introduction to the scientific research of child wellbeing and explains why data harmonisation is useful for this kind of research. Insa Bechert from the GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences then discusses different harmonisation strategies and explains their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, Scott Milligan (also GESIS) introduces the variable database created as part of the COORDINATE project, as well as the Harmonisation Toolbox, a set of R scripts that cover the data harmonization process for selected variables measuring child well-being.
