Dear all,
I am working on DHS Honduras 2006 and 2012 and would need to use the occupation variables v704, v716 (3 digit codes), and s806, s811 (4 digit codes).
In the HNIR62FL word file attached to the individual-level 2012 data I can see that there have been a few changes in the recoded occupation variables v705 and v717, but the entire list of all occupation codes as of variables v704, v716, s806 and s811 is not provided: has anything changed with respect to the 2006 edition of the survey? Is there a complete list of occupation categories for 2012, similar to what is provided in the HNIR52FL word file attached to the individual-level 2006 data?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Kind regards,
Viviana

Dear Bridgette,
thank you for your reply and for sending the document, this is really helpful.

Maybe it would be useful for other users to be aware that variables v704, v716 are now in two digit format instead of three digit format as in the previous edition of the survey.

Kind regards,
Viviana

You are welcome.
