I am analysing DHS 2005-06 for Zimbabwe, Individual Recode [ZWIR51FL] as one of the datasets in my study of fertility change in the country. One of the variables I am interested in is 'occupation of husband/partner', found in variable v705. The categories of the variable v705 however do not include those with unemployed husbands/partners. The other datasets [1994, 1999, 2010-11] include the category for women with unemployed husbands/partners in variable v705, a very important characteristic in my study. I would therefore like to know if it can be that all the women enumerated in DHS 2005-06 had employed husbands/partners or there is a variable in the same dataset that contains data about unemployed partners. I have tried looking at v704 but it also does not have the category. Could the absence of women who have unemployed husbands/partners be a data capture/coding error?

I look forward to your assistance.

Thank you
