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

You can look at the women's questionnaire in Appendix F of the final report, and look at the work-related variables in the IR file. This is not a standard variable but countries sometimes add questions.

I would be concerned about the reliability of a response to such a question and about the sequencing of work and DV. Also I expect that cumulative years of work experience would be highly correlated with other characteristics, such as age.

Thanks for using DHS data.
