Another response from Noureddine Abderrahim:
V166 refers to a woman's variable. Some women's variables are in fact imported from the household. Such as V166 which is derived from variable HV234 coming from the household. The children's file is related to births under five, born to the mother. The number of times that the variable is included in the children's file, corresponds to the number of births under 5. The children's file includes not only variables related to the children but also the women's variables. For this reason, V166 occurs in the children's file as many times as there are children. The variables in the women's file will occur as many times as there are women in the data file, including V166. The household variables in the household data file will occur as many times as there are households. Similarly, the household variables included in the woman's file will occur as many times as there are women.
