Hello.

I am a student, I am working on my thesis with data for India-NFHS Round 2. The data file is IAIR42FL, ie the women's daya. In the data there is a unique caseid for each of the 90303 women surveyed.
I am doing an analysis of the effect of female education on the fertility of women in India. Now I need to create a unique Household ID for this data, can you please give me a STATA code which does that.
When I tab v002 (ie household number) I get frequency as 588 and even higher in some,so it is not that there are 588 individuals in a household right? So I need a unique HHID ie tells me which of the 90303 women belong to which household.

Awaiting a quick reply.
