Description

Definition
Like IDEALKID, IDEALKIDGRP (V614) reports the total number of children the woman would hypothetically like to have in her whole life, regardless of her actual childbearing, but top-codes numeric responses at 6+ children and codes non-numeric responses as 7.

When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
