The proposed additions to the household schedule would bring DHS into line with census data and represent a major new dimension in the utility of, and audience for, DHS data.

This comment is made on behalf of the Gender Group at The World Bank.

In addition to the suggested district of residence 5 years ago, consider questioning HHM's birth district to infer migration and potential risk-sharing mechanism of extended families including marriages arranged out of the home location.

In areas with Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV)/ other contexts of forced displacement, consider asking why HHM/family moved from the last place of residence (displaced or voluntary). If displaced, was it due to: climate, natural disaster, security/forced displacement. And how many times they have moved in the last X years, and why?

We would love to continue the discussion and work alongside DHS to develop a more refined instrument in measuring the indicated indicators. Please do not hesitate to email Kathleen Beegle (kbeegle@worldbank.org) and Daniel Halim (dhalim@worldbank.org).
