Thank you, but my question is what does a "household of one" mean in reality in the child files? It can't be that the respondent (woman) lives alone because there are child variables attached. It can't be the child lives alone because a) children aren't respondents and b) they're under five years old. In other words, isn't 2 the minimum you could have in a household in a child file if you're gathering data on a woman and any of her children? So "1" must be some kind of code or special circumstance - like maybe the woman is looking after a child which isn't hers biologically or something?
