Following is response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Ethnicity was not explicitly obtained for household members younger than 15. You have two options. The easier option would be to change the age range of interest to 15-17. The harder option would be to try to estimate the ethnicity of 14-year-olds, by looking at the mother or father or household head. If they all have the same ethnicity, then you can be pretty sure that the 14-year-old has that ethnicity too. You could develop some rules for assigning ethnicity for the other cases. That's all I can suggest.
