Hello,

I'm trying to trace data for questions 909-915 in the Woman's questionnaire but am unable to find it in the Individual Recode data files or the other NFHS-4 datasets. Does anyone know where the variables associated with these questions can be found?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
I have a follow-up on this. For variable v731 only a small proportion of women answered the question, for the rest the data is missing (228,319 answered, 1,087,298 have missing data). For women who have missing data for v731, they are also missing data for other variables in that survey section. This makes me think this was intentional, but I can't find an explanation on the questionnaire or any supporting documents. Were these questions only asked to a subset of women? Does anyone know why there is so much missing data for this variable?

Many Thanks

The section of husband's background and woman's work was used only for clusters selected for state module. More information about the state module can be found in the survey final report's introduction chapter.
