Notes

Preferred waiting time before the birth of another child is givev as reported by the respondent. If the respondent answered "Don' t know" when she was asked how long she would like to wait for her next child, then she was asked how old she would like her youngest child to be when the next child is born, and the response to this is converted into a number of years before the next child is wanted. If the respondent replied that she had no children to the second question, then the variable is set to missing. In some countries ther e may be some additional non-numeric responses such as "Wants immediately" to the question of how long to wait before the next birth. These are assigned additional codes on a country specific basis.
