In WHESRi/whesApp: Builds shiny app for the Welsh Health Equity Solutions Platform

Indicator information

The data was acquired from the Annual Population Survey, January - December, 2018. This data set is for the whole of the U.K, so data was filtered to keep just people living in Wales. The data was extracted from the variable JOBTYP. Sample weights from the column PWTA18 were applied to make the data more representative of the general population and to account for sub-sampling. There were no Wales specific sampling weights, so U.K weights were used instead. Confidence intervals were calculated using the binom.wilson() function from the {binom} R package.

Surveyed people were asked to report on their highest level of education. The derived responses were original stored as variable HIQUL15D. The original response options were:

1. Degree or equivalent
2. Higher education
3. GCE A level or equivalent
4. GCSE grades A*-C or equivalent
5. Other qualification
6. No qualification

These options were re-coded to form a four category variable Education as follows High = 1 & 2, Medium = 3, Low = 4 & 5, None = 6.
