Comparability — General

The variable is comparable across all samples, although there is variation in the specific information used to construct the underlying mother and father pointer variables.

The variable NCHLT5 counts the number of own children under age five linked to the person.

No constructed family interrelationship variables are available for the individual-level samples that do not contain entire households of persons.

Comparability — United States [top]

The comparability of this variable is affected by the information available on family relationships. NCHILD is based on the information contained in RELATE (Relationship to household head), MOMLOC, and POPLOC, for all years except 1850-1870. In these years, relationships to the household head are imputed and FAMSIZE is based on imputed family relationships. For more information, see the IPUMS-USA user guide.
