Hi,

I want to identify the relocations happened to the individuals surveyed in Bangladesh in year 2014 by 2017 survey.
Is there a variable for this about where they were before in DHS.

Thank you in advance!

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You want to know where the respondents in the 2014 survey were living in 2017? We have no information about that. We also do not know where the respondents to the 2017 survey were living in 2014. The 2017 survey does include a variable for type of place (city / town / countryside) of previous residence but I would use it with caution because the classification is different from current type of place (urban / rural).
