Notes

Line numbers of wives as recorded in the household schedule. This is a multiple variable with entries for up to 8 wives. This variable can be used, in conjunction with the cluster or sample point number and the household number to match the men’s data with the women’s data, to allow for the analysis of couples. An entry with the value 0 means the wife was not listed as a member of the household.
