Great, thank you so much for the explantion!
My last questions just to be sure I understand--
1) all other countries would included ever married women within v511?
2) for v012, you mentioned that v012 is the age as reported by the respondent. The recode manual states "Current age in completed years is calculated from the century month code of the date of birth of the respondent (V011) and the century month code of the date of interview (V008). In a few cases the age in the data file will be different from that reported by the respondent when the respondent's birthday was in the month of interview, but she had not yet had her birthday. If the respondent correctly reported her age at her last birthday (and not her age at her next birthday) then the calculated age was rounded up from the reported age, to avoid inconsistencies between the age and the century month code for the birth. "
To my understanding, this is calculated, and the respondent is not actually asked her age. Would that be a correct understanding? So it is calucalted from the birth date given by the responde, and then the date of interview? The variable hv105, is the actual age reported by the head of the household, and it is not calculated.
