Dear User,
Here is a response from one of our experts, Dr. Shea Rutstein:
We have calculated separate wealth indexes for Ethiopia and then combined them into a composite index. The separate indexes also have separate quintiles. I am attaching the score file and the SPSS syntax. By the way, it is correct to use the weight variable.
The format for the score file:
Variable Rec Start End Format
QHCLUST 1 1 3 F3.0
QHNUMBER 1 4 6 F3.0
combscor 1 7 17 F11.5
Ncombsco 1 18 20 F3.0
URB1 1 21 31 F11.5
NURB1 1 32 34 F3.0
RUR1 1 35 45 F11.5
NRUR1 1 46 48 F3.0
RUR1 is the rural wealth score and NRUR1 is the rural wealth quintile.
If this has not answered your question adequately, please reply
Thank you!

Dear User,
One of our experts, Ladys Ortiz suggested checking occupational code variables. In the woman's recode file its V716 and in the Man's recode file it is MV716.
In the standard questionnaire, household members are categorized as to how they relate to the head of the household. Someone who may be a domestic servant would probably fall under code 12 not related. HV101 Relationship to head has the following codes:
Head 1
Wife or husband 2
Son/daughter 3
Son/daughter-in-law 4
Grandchild 5
Parent 6
Parent-in-law 7
Brother/sister 8
Co-spouse 9
Other relative 10
Adopted/foster child 11
Not related 12
Niece/nephew by blood 13
Niece/nephew by marriage 14
Don't know 98
Missing 99
As far as your query about "HOUSE" and "LAND" and V745a and V745b in the individual recode file, I believe that's correct, but I will check with someone to confirm?
If this has not answered your question adequately, please reply
Thank you!

Dear User, A response from Dr. Shea Rutstein:
Quote:
We have a rural-specific wealth index in the standard recode for almost all the newer surveys.
Tanzania DHS 2015-16 should be one of these.
"Wealth Index Variables
HV270 The wealth index is a composite measure of a household's cumulative living standard.
The wealth index is calculated using easy-to-collect data on a household's ownership of
selected assets, such as televisions and bicycles; materials used for housing construction;
and types of water access and sanitation facilities.
Generated with a statistical procedure known as principal components analysis, the
wealth index places individual households on a continuous scale of relative wealth. DHS
separates all interviewed households into five wealth quintiles to compare the influence
of wealth on various population, health and nutrition indicators. The wealth index is
presented in the DHS Final Reports and survey datasets as a background characteristic
HV271 Wealth index factor score (5 decimals)"
If this is not what you are looking for, please post again. Thank you!
