Description

Definition
GEO_EG1988_2014 indicates the region of Egypt where the respondent was interviewed. The variable is integrated to yield units with consistent boundaries across samples.

Labels identify the modern geographic units (grouped governorates) contained in each integrated region. Each sample also has its own non-integrated geography variable. An additional integrated variable, GEOALT_EG1988_2014, contains greater geographic detail (governorates).

An integrated GIS map (in shapefile format) for Egypt can be downloaded here [URL omitted from DDI.].
