Description
Definition
For men who want to have a(nother) child, IDEALBTHFUTMN (MV616) reports how long, in months or years, the man would ideally like to wait before the birth of a/another child.
As with other standard DHS variables reporting time intervals, the first digit of the code specifies the time unit: 1 for months and 2 for years. The second and third digits specify the number of months or years--for example, code 112 for twelve months.
