Database was partly curated by Bogdan Voicu, in 2001. *** Datasets are provided in three formats: .zsav, .sav, .dta. SPSS and Stata (14+) could be used to read the data. For R, we recommend using packages RcmdrMisc (function readSPSS) and readstata13 in order to import databases. Labels are provided for the moment only in Romanian language. No weighting system is provided, for the simple reason that in all cases there is no need for weighting (all weights should be equal to 1).
