Description

Definition

CHHEDWEIGHT is an 8-digit numeric variable, which should be used as a weighting factor to produce representative numbers when using the child education module.

The information in CHHEDWEIGHT is taken from the household record and applies to regular household members, 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.
