Description

Definition
TIMETOWOOD reports the number of minutes required to go to the place where the household usually gets wood, get the wood, and come back. This question was asked of households that used wood as their main cooking fuel.

The information in TIMETOWOOD 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 (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
