Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
There are two ways to determine whether such information is included. The first is to search through the questionnaire, which is in an appendix to the final report. The second is to search through the Stata files using "lookfor" and a keyword, such as "lookfor husband".
These variables would not be in the DV module itself. The woman's responses to questions about the husband / partner, including age and employment, are mostly in the standard v7* variables. For example, v730 is the husband's age. Responses from the men themselves are in the MR files. The men and women who name each other as partners are in the couple's (CR) file.
In many DHS surveys, men are only interviewed in a subsample of households and the DV module is only administered in a subsample of households, and the subsamples do not overlap. In such surveys, it is unfortunately not possible to combine DV data and men's data. I don't know whether it's possible in the Colombia surveys--you have to check that.
