Following is a response from Senior DHS Staff Member, Fred Arnold:

As indicated in an earlier response, the NFHS-4 questions are identical to the NFHS-5 questions, although the question numbers are somewhat different. However, in NFHS-5, if the woman is not currently married in Question 906, she skips directly to Question 913 (which is the question on whether she has any job or business from which she was absent for leave, illness, vacation, maternity leave or any other such reason), although the question makes the assumption that she has not worked in the last 7 days. In NFHS-4, women who are not currently married in Question 906, go to Question 909 ("Aside from your own housework, have you done any work in the last 7 days"). If the answer to Question 909 is YES, she skips directly to her occupation in Question 913. Therefore, the skip patterns in NFHS-5 and NFHS-4 are different for women who are not currently married.
