GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
In case there is no information available about whether the father is dead or not we just use code 2 (not a HH member). In case, the relationship to head variable indicates that the brother of the head is living in the HH with nephews/nieces of the head we assume that these last are the sons/daughters of the head's brother.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
• All parents related variables were generated by ERF including the presence status generated using the relationship to head variable, therefore those dead could not be identified.
• Father's and Mother's variables were generated for head of the household's children, the head him/herself whenever his/her parent(s) are household members, for head’s siblings if parents’ data is available, and for head’s grandchildren if he/she has married sons/daughters or in laws living in the household. In some cases, children were linked to their parents based on the HH data entry order.
• Since the relationship to the head variable did not include the son/daughter in law category, to generate the in-laws' characteristics, we assumed that the son in law is a married male recoded as other relative in the relationship to head variable where the number of married female daughters in the household >=1.
The same technique was applied to the daughter in law, a married female recoded as other relative in the relationship to head variable where the number of married male sons >=1 is considered a daughter in law.
• In case the head has multiple spouses, the identification of the children’s mothers among different spouses is judgmental whether on age basis, or on members order in the household
• After generating these variables, No son in law could be found. Therefore, further check on other relative married males (q506 = 1 & q510=2 & q505 = 7) was done and only 2 cases were found:
Serial: 1100698 5th person
Serial: 1107158 5th person
Checking these two cases indicated none of them could be considered son in law.
