Hi,

I am trying to merge household member's recode file to birth's recode file (m:1 merge) using Nepal DHS 2011. The ultimate goal is to merge all the birth and household member files and pool it across all the survey years in Nepal.

I understand that for variable b16, there are a few 0,99 and missing values with no line number in the household member file. And it is recommended that those observations be deleted before one merges it with the household file. However, if I am also interested in understanding household characteristics of children that are dead or live away from home, is there still a way to access household information for those children?

Thanks,
PM
