Dear all,

the databases in DHS2 (household component and women component) propose various measures of educationnal attainment.
For exemple, in the women database:
highest educational level (v106), highest year of education (v107), education in single years (v133), partner's education level (v701), highest year of education of partner (v702), husband years of education (v715).

However, the education question simply ask the highest grade attained.
Hence, I am wondering how all those variables are constructed and what they actually mean (in particular, highest year of education vs education in single years, which are very different).

Thank you very much for your help.

Best,

Guilhem
