Dear User,
I looked at the documentation files distributed with your datasets but did not see anything about "spousal communication" for either of those surveys. It would not be a standard recode variable in our datasets. I checked to see if they were country specific, but did not find them. My guess is that particular data was not collected. You can also take a look at the questionnaires in the back of the final reports to see exactly what was asked in each of the surveys you mention. There may be a few questions about discussing family planning and the number of children desired as well as some questions about who usually decides certain things in the running of the household. That is the extent of the standard questions. In the woman's standard/core questionnaire:
Q718 Would you say that using contraception is mainly your decision, mainly your (husband's/partner's) decision, or did you both decide
Q720 Does your (husband/partner) want the same number of children that you want, or does he want more or fewer than you want?
Q817 Who usually decides how the money you earn will be used: you, your (husband/partner), or you and your (husband/partner) jointly?
Q819 Who usually decides how your (husband's/partner's) earnings will be used: you, your (husband/partner), or you and your (husband/partner) jointly?
Q820 Who usually makes decisions about health care for yourself: you, your (husband/partner), you and your (husband/partner) jointly, or someone else?
Q821 Who usually makes decisions about making major household purchases?
together?
Are these the types of questions you are inquiring about? If this is the case, then recode variables do exist for these types of variables.
Attached are the documentation files for both of these surveys you asked about. They were also within your downloaded datasets. These documents give important information regarding the datasets including a section on country specific variables.
