Comparability — General
There are differences in the universe with respect to age, childbearing, and child survival across samples. See ABROADFEM and ABROADMALE to observe the number of children living abroad stratified by gender. This differentiation is available only for some samples: Bolivia 1992, Colombia 1985 and 1993, and Uruguay 1985.
The variable is top-coded at 10 or more children for all samples.
Comparability — Bolivia [top]
This information is available only for the 1992 sample.
Comparability — Colombia [top]
This information is available only for the 1985 and 1993 samples.
The universe statement varies across samples. The 1985 sample includes females age 15 or older who have surviving children. The 1993 sample, instead, includes females age 12 or older.
Comparability — Morocco [top]
This information is available only for the 1994 sample.
Comparability — Uruguay [top]
This information is available only for the 1985 and 2006 samples.
The universe statement varies across samples. The 1985 sample includes females age 15 or older who ever had children. The 2006 sample, instead, includes females age 14 or older who ever had children.
