Comparability — General
The universe of persons subject to the census question varies across samples. The reference period may be the previous calendar year, not the previous 12 months, as noted in the country comparability text.
The top-code varies across samples.
It is possible to calculate the number of surviving births for additional samples beyond those included in BIRTHSURV.
Comparability — Botswana [top]
For 2001, BIRTHSURV is calculated from separate input variables for male and female births. The 2011 sample is top-coded at 2 or more children surviving.
Comparability — Guinea [top]
The 2014 sample is a combination of two variables and the question is asked for female age 12 to 54.
Comparability — Iran [top]
Only ever-married females were asked the census question. For both 2006 and 2011, BIRTHSURV is calculated from separate input variables for male and female births.
Comparability — Jamaica [top]
The data only report survival with a yes or no response, without regard for multiple births.
Comparability — Liberia [top]
The data only report information on one birth in the past year, which appears to be the last birth if there was more than one in the time period.
Comparability — Malawi [top]
The universe changes marginally between samples. In the 1987 sample, the question is asked of women age 10 and older who had a birth last year. In the 1998 sample, the question is asked of women age 12 and older who had a birth last year. In the 2008 sample, the universe is restricted to non-visitor females age 12 and older who had a birth last year.
The data for 1987 and 1998 are calculated from separate input variables for male and female children.
Comparability — Morocco [top]
The 1982, 2004 and 2014 samples are top-coded at 2 or more.
The universe differs marginally between samples. In the 1982 and 2004 sample, the question is asked of ever-married women age 50 or younger who had a birth last year. In the 1994 sample, the universe is restricted to ever-married women between 10 and 50 years of age who had a birth last year while the 2014 sample includes ever married females under age 55.
In 2004, BIRTHSURV is constructed from the subtraction of the number of dead children born alive from the number of live births in the last 12 months.
Comparability — Mozambique [top]
The universe varies significantly across samples: the 1997 census addressed the question only to women age 12 to 50, while the 2007 sample includes all female residents age 12 and older.
For both samples the data are constructed from separate variables for boys and girls.
Comparability — Palestine [top]
Only ever-married females were asked the census question. The universe changes slightly over time. In the 1997 sample, the question is asked of ever-married women age 12 and older who had a birth last year. In the 2007 sample, the universe consists of ever-married women between 12 and 59 years old who had a birth last year, except those in Jerusalem annexed by Israel in 1967. The 2017 includes ever-married females age 14 to 54.
Comparability — Rwanda [top]
Data for Rwanda were calculated from multiple input variables in each census year.
The 2002 and 2012 data are top-coded at 3 or more children: the top-code of the two input variables.
Comparability — Sierra Leone [top]
The 2004 sample only reports survival of the most recent birth in the last year, without regard for multiple births; this sample includes a sizeable proportion of unknown cases. The 2015 sample is top-coded at 3+ children.
Comparability — South Sudan [top]
The question is asked of women age 12 to 54 and is top-coded at 2 children or more.
Comparability — Sudan [top]
Only ever-married females were asked the census question.
Comparability — Tanzania [top]
The 2012 samples are top-coded at 5 and above. The sample aimed to get the fertility rate in the country by asking about the number of children born alive in the last 12 months and who are still alive.
Comparability — Togo [top]
The number of births is top-coded at two or more.
Comparability — Trinidad and Tobago [top]
BIRTHSURV is available for 2011 only. The variable is constructed from separate variables measuring births last year and children born last year who died. Births last year is top-coded at two or more, and children born last year who have died is top-coded at one or more. As a result, a small number of cases with code 1 for BIRTHSURV may have more than one child born in the last year who is surviving.
Comparability — Zambia [top]
The universe varies slightly across samples. In 1990 and 2000, the question was asked of women age 12-49 regardless of household membership status. In 2010, the question was asked of women age 12-49 who were present residents or visitors only (i.e. absent members were not in the universe). The 1990 and 2000 enumeration instructions indicate that this question should have been asked only of present household members and visitors, but BIRTHSURV is reported for almost all absent household members; they are included in the universe.
This variable is calculated from several input variables. In the 2000 sample, a small number of cases (less than 25) were top-coded at 1 for two of the input variables for confidentiality reasons. In these cases, the values in BIRTHSURV will be incorrect.
