Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Thank you for alerting us to this discrepancy. The codes for v716, which is country-specific, were different in the two surveys. They appear to have been applied correctly. The codes for v717 are standard across surveys, but they were not constructed consistently in the two surveys. We no longer have the detailed occupation data that would be required to re-classify as v717 in the 2022 survey. v717 in that survey should be used cautiously if at all.
