Description

Definition
GOATYN indicates whether the household owned goats. The complementary variable GOATNUM reports the number of goats owned by the household.

The information in GOATYN 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.
