Hello,

I am working with the Bangladesh surveys and I am trying to identify the child labor variables. Several years of the survey are listed as having the Child Labor module available.
However, after downloading and checking, I cannot find any child labor variables.

I have checked DHS surveys from other countries where the Child Labor module is available, and in those cases I can identify the child labor variables in the released datasets.
So the issue appears to be specific to the Bangladesh DHS files. I have checked the Household Recode BDHR72FL, Household Member Recode BDPR72FL and all other datasets for all the listed years.

Please could someone help me clarify a way to request access? I am using Stata.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
