Description

Definition
KIDRESTYP (V103) reports the type of place--city, town, countryside, or somewhere abroad--where the woman lived for most of her childhood (usually defined as prior to age 12). Due to country- and survey-level variation in data collection, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding to maximize comparability across samples for this variable.
