Description

CHDEAD reports how many of the children ever born to a woman were no longer living at the time of the census. Women were to consider all live births by all fathers; they were to exclude still births.

Comparability — General

The universe differs across samples, but typically applies to women over a certain age who ever gave birth. Some samples only include women of child-bearing age in the universe for the variable; others restrict the universe to ever-married women only.

Users should be sensitive about the interpretation of the "unknown" category, which is large for some samples.

Unless otherwise indicated, the variable is top-coded at 20 or more; see the codes page for details.

Data on child births are recorded in CHBORN. Some samples report deaths of children born within the past year. Those data are not included in CHDEAD.

It is possible to calculate total child deaths for samples that have both the Children Ever Born and Children Surviving variables. That is not done in CHDEAD, which includes only the samples that directly reported the information in the appropriate form.

Comparability — Bolivia [top]

The 2001 sample is top-coded at 12+.

Comparability — Botswana [top]

The 1981 sample is top-coded at 10+. The 2001 sample is top-coded at 5+. The 2011 sample is top-coded at 8+. For 2001, CHDEAD is constructed from separate variables for male and female children, both of which are top-coded; the data therefore underreport the actual number of children for a small number of cases. See the unharmonized source variables to identify the affected cases.

Comparability — Cambodia [top]

The data are calculated from separate variables for male and female children and the top codes differ across samples.

Comparability — El Salvador [top]

The data are comparable across samples. The only difference is that the 2007 sample includes an "unknown" category, while the 1992 sample does not.

Comparability — Ethiopia [top]

The 2007 sample includes data only for long-form female respondents. In all years the data are constructed from separate variables for male and female children.

Comparability — Fiji [top]

The data are calculated from separate variables for male and female children; top-codes vary across sample years.

The variable is constructed from two variables that are each top-coded; the data therefore underreport the actual number of children for a small number of cases. See the unharmonized source variables to identify the affected cases.

Comparability — Honduras [top]

The data in 1974 and 1988 are top-coded at 12+.

Comparability — Indonesia [top]

Data are not available in all sample years, and the universe varies across samples with respect to age and marital status. Data for the 1990, 1995, and 2010 samples are calculated from separate variables for male and female children. The 1976 and 1980 samples, instead, report the total number of children dead.

Comparability — Kenya [top]

The universe is females age 12 and older who ever gave birth 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+ who ever gave birth. There are a large proportion of missing cases.

For most samples, the variable is constructed from two variables that are each top-coded; the data therefore underreport the actual number of children for a small number of cases. See the unharmonized source variables to identify the affected cases.

Comparability — Laos [top]

The data are constructed from male and female deaths and are top-coded at 6 or more.

Comparability — Lesotho [top]

The integrated variable was created from male and female children dead. The 1996 sample is top-coded at 6+; 2006 is top-coded at 4+.

Comparability — Malawi [top]

There is a minor age universe change between samples. The data are calculated from separate variables for male and female children.

Comparability — Mexico [top]

The 2015 sample is top-coded at 17+.

Comparability — Morocco [top]
