Description
Definition
RELIGION (V130) reports the woman's religion. While the categories and codes for the religion variable in the original DHS files are country-specific, IPUMS-DHS uses a 3-digit composite coding system to fit these diverse categories into a single variable without losing information. See Comparability.
