Response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Noureddine Abderrahim:
You need to ensure that the file constructed from the men and the women's data is complete. You need also to keep in mind that the person's file does not include only the individuals who were interviewed but also members who were not interviewed such as children, non defacto members, etc.
Also, be aware that the data in the household roster (such as HV105, HV106, ..) might be different from the individual data (V012, MV012, V106, MV106) because the respondent to the household interview might be different from the respondent to the individual interview.
To check that the merge was done correctly, you need to see if the data of the women and men in the new file, matches the data in the individual data files (such as V106 in the new data file matches V106 in the individual data file, the same for MV106 in the men's data file).
