Hello everyone,
I am working with all DHS surveys available in African and Asian countries.
I need to merge the Birth's Recode and the Household Member Recode files.
In recent DHS surveys, I used the information on "child line number in the household Schedule" (variable: b16 in the Birth's Recode file) to construct an household member id and match the two datasets.
However, in some surveys (e.g. Bangladesh 1993/1994, 1996, etc.) this information (the variable b16) is missing.
Do anayone know how can I identify the children in the Birth's recode and in the Household member recode?

Thank you.
