Dear DHS team,
I tried to merge household members to individuals (in stata) as follows:
In the household member recode file, I generated new variables
gen v001 = hv001
gen v002 = hv002
gen v003 = hvidx,
and then merged with individual recode file on v001 v002 v003.
Of the 9810 observations in the individual recode file, 2860 were not matched. What could be the reason? Shouldn't all the interviewed women be represented in the household member file?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
