Harmonized ELSA
The Harmonized English Longitudinal Study on Ageing (Harmonized ELSA) is an easy-to-use version of data from nine waves of the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing (ELSA) with a set of harmonized variables suitable for cross-country analysis. Using the RAND HRS as a model, the Harmonized ELSA defines variables as identically as possible with the RAND HRS to allow users to compare variables with all other Harmonized data sets. Documentation for each variable in Harmonized ELSA, including a description of its creation, the ELSA variables used, and descriptive statistics, is detailed in the Harmonized ELSA codebook.
