Harmonized KLoSA

Harmonized Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging is an easy-to-use version of data from two waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) with a set of harmonized variables suitable for cross-country analysis. Using the RAND HRS as a model, Harmonized KLoSA defines variables as identically as possible with the RAND HRS to allow users to compare variables with all other Harmonized data sets.
