Description

Definition

ELCONNECT indicates whether the dwelling has electrical connections or power from an electrical grid.

The information in ELCONNECT is taken from the household record and applies to household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors (coded "2") using the following variables:

RESIDENT when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis;
HHRESIDENT when household members are the unit of analysis;
RESIDENTMN when men are the unit of analysis.
