UPDATE:

I'm so sorry for the confusion. The question on frequency of internet use during the last month is not asked in the NFHS-4 questionnaire, this explains the absence of the indicator in India for 2015-2016.

I have some last questions though:

- How should I merge the Couple's Recode with the Household's Recode? Do I use the same variables as you suggested for the CR/IR and CR/MR merges? Do I consider the CR as the base file? I want to keep a couple as the unit analysis in the merged file.

- I need the number of sons and daughters for each couple in the CR file as well. In other words, I think I need to merge again for CR/KR. Is this correct?

- I'm confused as to when to use which weights. In the merged file (Couples recode with household and children recode) I'd work with two subsamples: husbands and wives. Is it correct to assume that I only need to weight the data for women with V005 and for men with MV005, despite the fact that I use variables on the household level. I do ask because there's also a weight for households and for the state (SHV005).

I'm very grateful for all your help up until now!

Kind regards,
Zoë
