Description

Definition
PIGYN indicates whether the household owned any pigs. The complementary variable PIGNUM reports how many pigs the household owned.

The information in PIGYN is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
