Hello!

We are working with DHS dataset for NFHS 1,2 and 3.


For the year 05/06 the variable v155 states literacy for the women.
How should we recode the variable into literate and illiterate?


literacy | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------------------------------+----------------------- ------------
cannot read at all | 140,088 54.56 54.56
able to read only parts of sentence | 14,377 5.60 60.15
able to read whole sentence | 100,162 39.01 99.16
no card with required language | 1,444 0.56 99.72
blind/visually impaired | 485 0.19 99.91
9 | 226 0.09 100.00
------------------------------------+----------------------- ------------
Total | 256,782 100.00


cannot read at all-illiterate
able to read only parts of sentence-literate?
able to read whole sentence-literate
no card with required language-missing data
blind/visually impaired-illiterate?


Thank you in advance!



Hanna
