Description
Definition
Based on a follow-up question to IDEALKID (V613), which collects information about the ideal number of children the woman would hypothetically want to have in her whole life, IDEALGIRLS reports how many of these children would ideally be girls.
Numeric responses to IDEALGIRLS (V628), IDEALBOYS (V627), and IDEALBOTH (V629) should sum to the total number of children in IDEALKID (V613). Non-numeric responses (such as "up to God") are allowed for each of these variables.
