Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
This variable should not be imputed for household members for whom the information was not collected (i.e. it can only be generated for those to whom the question was asked since the youngest age at which the information is collected may differ depending on the survey).
Married only refers to formal marriages (including legally married).
Polygamous unions include males with multiple spouses. The number of spouses in the household can be used to indicate polygamy.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The "married polygamous" category was only generated for the head of the household if the number of spouses exceeds "1".
