Dear User,
This is taken directly from the Standard Recode Manual which can be found on our website:http:// www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-DHSG4-DHS-Questi onnaires-and-Manuals.cfm
Quote:

V717 Standardized respondent's occupation groups. Agricultural categories also include
fishermen, foresters and hunters and are not the basis for selection of agricultural/nonagricultural
workers. In countries, where it is not possible to differentiate between selfemployed
agricultural workers and agricultural employees, no attempt has been made to use
other information, and code 4 has been used for both categories. The analyst may wish to
use other related information to differentiate between these two categories.
BASE: Women who are currently working or who have worked in the last 12 months
(V731 = 1 or V731 = 2).

If you have additional questions after reviewing the information in the recode manual, please feel free to post again. Thank you!
