Description

Definition
This variable indicates the person's country of citizenship. The universe for this variable includes present residents of Botswana. Enumeration instructions indicate that person's information should be collected from absent persons only if they were Botswana citizens; thus, the NIU category could be also interpreted as having "Botswana" citizenship.
