Description
Definition
FATHERWNOMN (MV245) reports how many women the male respondent has fathered children with. Men who have never had children are coded "0." Information is collected through direct questions: "Did all of the children you have fathered have the same biological mother? and, if no, "In all, how many women have you fathered children with?"
