Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
I'll describe the variables for men in the MR file, with the "mv" prefix. The same applies for women in the IR file, with the "v" prefix.
There are four relevant variables for education:
. describe mv106 mv107 mv133 mv149
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mv106 byte %8.0g MV106 educational level
mv107 byte %8.0g MV107 highest year of education (at level in mv106)
mv133 byte %8.0g MV133 total number of years of education
mv149 byte %8.0g MV149 educational attainment
mv149 and mv107 are almost exactly the same. The only difference is that mv149 divides primary into incomplete and complete:
. tab mv149 mv106
educational | educational level
attainment | no educat primary secondary higher | Total
---------------------+--------------------------------------------+----------
no education | 12,269 0 0 0 | 12,269
incomplete primary | 0 11,710 0 0 | 11,710
incomplete secondary | 0 0 55,807 0 | 55,807
complete secondary | 0 0 4,211 0 | 4,211
higher | 0 0 0 17,842 | 17,842
---------------------+--------------------------------------------+----------
Total | 12,269 11,710 60,018 17,842 | 101,839
mv133 is a recode of mv106 and mv107. The following table gives the mean of mv133 for each combination of mv106 and mv107. (Ignore the "Total" column and row.)
. tab mv107 mv106, summarize(mv133) means
