Hello!

I am trying to replicate the wealth index that comes with the data and I am unable to do this. The only variable that is out of whack is land-ownership. The DHS claims the mean for this variable is 0.81 and I am getting 0.11. (And no, I am not tabulating the lack of ownership).

The land variable is not available in the asset section of the questionnaire and I calculated it from the men and women's work module.

Am I doing this wrong ? Would appreciate any insight.

Best,

Rsmem
