Information on student's family structure and social-economic status on the parents, such as parental education, parental occupation, parental income, etc. Links to related code books are provided at the bottom.
In Cycle 1, the information in this module comes from 3 sources: the PISA student questionnaire, the YITS student questionnaire, and the YITS parent questionnaire. The column titled "Source" gives the data source of variables listed on its left. Data collected from the YITS student questionnaire and PISA student questionnaire are reported by students themselves, while data collected from the YITS parent questionnaire are reported by their parents.
