Comparability — General

Some samples limit the universe to women of childbearing age or to ever-married women. Top-codes vary across samples.

See AWAYMALE for the number of male children and AWAYCHILD for the total number of children living elsewhere.

Comparability — Botswana [top]

The 2001 and 2011 samples are top-coded at 7+ female children.

Comparability — Ethiopia [top]

Only long-form respondent women (20%) were asked the question in 2007.

Comparability — Fiji [top]

The 1986 sample is top-coded at 10 or more female children, the 1996 sample is top-coded at 7+, and the 2007 sample is top-coded at 6+.

Comparability — Indonesia [top]

The universe differs across samples, with respect to age and marital status of respondents.

The 2010 sample is top-coded at 13 or more female children.

Comparability — Kenya [top]

The universe is females age 12 and older for all samples except 1979. The 1979 enumeration form indicates that the universe was females age 12+, but it appears to actually be females age 15+.

The 1999 and 2009 samples specify that the response pertains to children who "usually" live apart from their mother, while the earlier samples did not include this language. A large number of cases lack responses in the 1979 and 1989 samples.

Top codes vary across samples.
