Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

Description
LASTBMORT indicates the mortality status of the last child born to a woman. There is no constraint on how long ago the child may have been born. Only live births are considered.

Comparability — General
LASTBMORT does not pose any comparability issues aside from differences in the universe.
Some samples have information on the mortality status of children born only within the last year. Those data are not included in this variable.
Comparability — Colombia [top]
The universe for this sample is very different than for other samples, because it is restricted to women with at least one surviving child. Additionally, the data for Colombia include many missing responses for young women, most of whom also have missing information for children surviving and children ever born.
Comparability — Dominican Republic [top]
The universe changes across samples.
Comparability — Guatemala [top]
The universe differs across samples. In 1973 and 1981, females age 15+ who ever gave birth are included. In 1994 and 2002, females age 12+ who ever gave birth are included.
Comparability — Kenya [top]
The census provided response options to accommodate twin or multiple births. In cases where all of the children resulting from the last birth were living, responses were categorized as "alive." In a small number of cases, at least one of the twins or multiples died, and responses were integrated in the "dead" category. See the source variable for full detail.
Comparability — Lesotho [top]
In 1996, the respondent was instructed to refer to the second-born twin if she had twins in her last birth. The 2006 census question just refers to the last-born child.
Comparability — Uganda [top]
The universe for 1991 includes females age 12 and over; 2002-2014 include only females age 12 to 54.
Comparability — Vietnam [top]
In Vietnam, if a woman's last birth was a multiple birth, LASTBMORT is coded to "missing." The mortality status of multiple births can be examined using the variables LASTBSURV and LASTBDEAD, which give the number of children surviving and dead from the most recent birth.
