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]
There are slight variations in definition, universe, and top-code across samples.
The 1999, 2009, and 2019 census questions specified that the response pertained to children who "usually" lived elsewhere, while the earlier questionnaires did not include this language. A large number of cases lack responses in the 1979 and 1989 samples.
The universe is females age 12+ 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 data are top-coded at 9+ children in 1999, 10+ children in 2019, 11+ children in 2009, 12+ children in 1979, and 26 children in 1989 (though there does not appear to be an imposed upper bound).
