Thank you very much!
Your explanation of the merging applies to the merging of the HR and CR datafiles right? Because you are mentioning PR or the Person's Recode (file for household members).. I need to merge data for the household and assign it to a certain couple in the couples file, for ex. for each couple (case) I want an extra variable with the associated wealth index of the household they're part of.
Concerning the children of the couples, thank you very much. I'll play around with various variables and determine whether to incorporate it as a explanatory variable or not.
1) I found myself a bit confused about the variables that provide information for the partner or husband. In the case of women, her highest educational attainment is given by V106, for the associated husband, that would be V701. Similarly, employment status of the women is given by V731, that of her husband by V704. BUT, starting from the men's point of view, educational attainment and employment status are given by MV106 and MV73. What are the associated variables for their wives? I've searched through the DHS-VII Recode Manual and the CR datafile of India (NFHS-4) but only come to the conclusion I would again need V701 and V704, but that doesn't seem right is it?
2) I need to determine the marital duration of the couples in the CR file. Both husbands and wives are asked about the year of (first) marriage (resp. S308Y and SM223Y), however this can apply to a marriage other than the current one. Is there a foolproof way to determine the marital age of the couple?
Thank you very much for all your help up until now, truly!
Kind regards,
Zoë Carette
