Description

Definition
Like MAR1STCMCMN (MV509), MAR1STCMCMN_ET (MV509_ET) reports the century month code (CMC) for the date of the man's first marriage or cohabitation. However, this variable is country-specific to Ethiopia, as the data are recorded using the Ethiopian calendar. For most other countries, the CMC data for the date of the man's first marriage/cohabitation are recorded using the Gregorian calendar. On average, there is a seven to eight year gap between the Ethiopian calendar and the Gregorian calendar.

For detailed information about the interpretation and calculation of CMC statistics on the date of first marriage or cohabitation, see MAR1STCMCMN (MV509).
