Hi All,
I am hoping to compare responses from the Husband's Background and Women's work section of the survey in India between the rounds in 1998-99 and 2005-06.
I have downloaded both datasets (individual) for India, but am unable to find the variables on when wife-beating is viewed as justified (survey question 721 in DHS-IV, v744a-e in DHSV), control over earnings(717, v739), and decision making ability (719, v743a-f) for the 1998-99 data. This round occurs as part of DHS-IV, and the questions are part of the model survey. Is this data available for India, or was it not collected?
Thank you for your help!

Dear User,
For the India NFHS 1998-99 the variables you are referring to are survey specific. Take a look at:
Wife beating viewed as justified
S514A Husband may hit wife if she is unfaithful
S514B Husband may hit wife if her family does not give money
S514C Husband may hit wife if she shows disrespect
S514D Husband may hit wife if she goes out without telling him
S514E Husband may hit wife if she neglects house or children
S514F Husband may hit wife if she does not cook properly
Control over earnings
S617 Contribution to total family earnings
S618 Who decides how money will be spent
Survey specific variables normally start with the letter 'S' and follow the question number in the questionnaire administered in the field.
For Household variables, the survey specific variables start with 'SH'
For Women variables, the survey specific variables start with 'S'
For Men variables, the survey specific variables start with 'SM'
You can take a look at the final report for exact wording on the questions asked. The report is bookmarked and has bookmarks for the questionnaires.
http:// dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-FRIND2-DHS-Final-Rep orts.cfm
The questionnaires are in the back of the report after Appendix E and the state fact sheet.
Hope this helps.
