Dear User,
V137 "Number of children 5 and under in household (de jure)": is showing de jure children only. This means the children are legal residents of the household and usually live there. If you are seeing 0's in your frequencies, it means the numbers in the 0 category are not usual residents. If you look at the standard questionnaire for Burkina Faso DHS 2010 for example: QH05 in the household (Residence), QH05 = 1, yes usual resident (de jure), QH05 = 2, not usual resident. In the recode file, those 2s get recoded to 0s,indicating that those children were not usual residents of the household. Hope this helps.
Thank you!
