Calculate the difference in education distribution from the simulation start to the end of the changing trend #28
Education attainment is re-weighted based on 2011 census data. We took the distribution of different age groups (30-35, 35-40, 40-45, 45-50) and used them to re-weight populations in the future of the model, relying on the assumption that the highest level of educational attainment does not change after the age of 30.
We want to know how this distribution changes from the start of the model to the end of this trend (20 years into the simulation). It should then be held constant after 20 years.
ToDo:
[ ] Check the population holds the distribution constant after 20 years in simulation
[ ] Produce some summary stats on the distribution change. Either:
Produce a figure or table showing this
Write a couple of sentences about this after explaining how we re-weight by education
