Description
Definition
GEO1_PG identifies the household's province within Papua New Guinea in all sample years. Provinces are the first level administrative units of the country. GEO1_PG is spatially harmonized to account for political boundary changes across census years. Some detail is lost in harmonization. A GIS map (in shapefile format), corresponding to GEO1_PG can be downloaded from the GIS Boundary files page in the IPUMS International web site.
The full set of geography variables for Papua New Guinea can be found in the IPUMS International Geography variables list. For cross-national geographic analysis on the first and second major administrative level of any country refer to GEOLEV1, and GEOLEV2.
