Dear User,
One of our experts, Ladys Ortiz suggested checking occupational code variables. In the woman's recode file its V716 and in the Man's recode file it is MV716.

In the standard questionnaire, household members are categorized as to how they relate to the head of the household. Someone who may be a domestic servant would probably fall under code 12 not related. HV101 Relationship to head has the following codes:
Head 1
Wife or husband 2
Son/daughter 3
Son/daughter-in-law 4
Grandchild 5
Parent 6
Parent-in-law 7
Brother/sister 8
Co-spouse 9
Other relative 10
Adopted/foster child 11
Not related 12
Niece/nephew by blood 13
Niece/nephew by marriage 14
Don't know 98
Missing 99

As far as your query about "HOUSE" and "LAND" and V745a and V745b in the individual recode file, I believe that's correct, but I will check with someone to confirm?

If this has not answered your question adequately, please reply

Thank you!
