Description

Definition
CHLHHABSENTWHY reports the reason the child household member selected for the child labor module (CHLHHINDEX) was absent from his or her job in the past week.

The information in CHLHHABSENTWHY is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
