--NO "new features" listed in Revision History
NEW SAMPLES.
--Six new census samples for Honduras (2013), Kenya (2019), Malawi (2018), Mongolia (2010, 2020), and Mozambique (2017) were added to the data series. All census samples extend pre-existing series for those countries.
--91 quarterly labor force surveys from the Philippines (1997 - 2019) were added to IPUMS.
SUPPLEMENTAL DATA.
--No "supplemental data" listed in revision history
NEW VARIABLES.
--New spatially harmonized birthplace and previous-residence variables are available for samples in this data release. More information is available here (https://international.ipums.org/international/geo_mig.shtml).
--Users should note that many older migration and birthplace variables are available by different names. Refer to this table for a crosswalk of old and corresponding new migration variables. For birthplace variables refer to this table (https://international.ipums.org/international/resources/misc_docs/migCrosswalk_names.pdf).
EDITED SAMPLES.
--For the Zambia 2000 sample, an error in the household breaks was corrected, resulting in the creation of 1,988 new households (1% increase) that were previously combined with other households. The person records included in the sample did not change. Due to an inconsistency in the original file, no household-level information other than geographic location is available for these newly identified households, necessitating the addition of "unknown" values for this sample to the following variables: BEDROOMS, ELECTRIC, FLOOR, FUELCOOK, FUELHEAT, OWNERSHIP, PHONE, RADIO, REFRIG, ROOMS, SEWAGE, TRASH, WATSRC, TV, TOILET, GQ, ROOF, WATSUP, BIKE, MOTORCYCLE, KITCHEN, GQTYPE, AUTOS, and WALL.
EDITED VARIABLES.
--For the 1998 and 2008 Malawi samples, the family interrelationship pointer variables MOMLOC and POPLOC were modified to allow a "Spouse/partner" of the household head to be linked as a parent to an "Other relative", because the enumeration instructions specify that adopted and stepchildren were categorized as "Other relative". These samples are now consistent with the links made in the newly released 2018 Malawi sample, which had the same enumeration instructions for adopted and stepchildren.
--In the samples for Côte d'Ivoire 1988 and 1998, Rwanda 1991 and 2002, Togo 1960 and 2010, and South Africa 2001, for the harmonized variable POLYGAM, persons in consensual unions were previously coded as "No, in monogamous union". Because there was no response option in these samples for polygamous consensual unions, it is more appropriate to treat these cases as not-in-universe, so they have been recoded to "NIU (not in universe)".
--MARST has been edited for Honduras 1974 to reclassify the source variable responses "married, wife lives separately" and "consensual union, companion lives separately" as separations. The documentation suggests that "separately" actually indicates a relationship separation and not an absent spouse or companion. Other minor edits were implemented for MARST for Mozambique 1997 and 2007.
--In the Mozambique 1997 sample, an error was corrected that recoded persons with a relationship of "Unknown" in the source data to "Other relative or non-relative" (6000) in the harmonized variable RELATE. These persons are now coded as "Not Stated/Unknown" (9999).
--In the Malawi 1987, 1998, and 2008 samples, for variable WATSUP, a programming error was corrected such that any households who reported having piped water in either the wet or the dry season are classified as having access to piped water. This programming was also applied to the newly released 2018 sample.
--The NATIVITY variable has been edited in the Chile 2017 sample to correct a programming error that mistakenly classified as foreign-born about 20 thousand person records that were actually native-born.
--The MIGRATE5 variable has been edited in the Chile 2017 sample, given a programming error that classified most migrants as having changed their major geographic unit. The MIGRATE5 variable for the Chile 1982 and 1992 samples has been edited to use spatially harmonized geographic units to calculate migration status.
--In the 1989, 1999, and 2009 Kenya samples, households who indicated that their lighting type or fuel was "Solar" were recoded from "No" to "Yes" in ELECTRIC, based on secondary sources documenting the spread of home solar energy systems in Kenya beginning in the mid-1980s. In the 1989 and 1999 Kenya samples, programming was removed that previously recoded households that reported using electricity as their main cooking fuel to "Yes" in the access to electricity variable ELECTRIC, making it more consistent across samples. Other minor edits were implemented for ELECTRIC in Botswana 2011, Ethiopia 1984 and 1994, Mongolia 1989, Mozambique 2007.
--Some samples in DISCARE classified responses indicating "some" difficulty into "yes". These cases were revised to consistently include in "yes" only responses indicating "a lot of difficulty" or "cannot do at all".
--Some codes were improperly labeled for municipalities in Honduras 1961 and 1974, which affect variables on place of residence, birthplace, and previous residence.

The first stage involved the listing of all living quarters as well as a preliminary count of the population and was carried out from May 17 to 26, 1980. The second stage involved the actual count of the population as well as an enumeration of the personal characteristics of every person, and was carried out from June 11 to 28, 1980.MalaysiaDistricts with 20,000+ populationPersons, households, and dwellings
UNITS IDENTIFIED:
- Dwellings: yes

- Households: yes
- Individuals: yes
- Group quarters: yes
UNIT DESCRIPTIONS:
- Dwellings: Living quarters have been defined for census purposes as places of abode, which are structurally separate and independent. The terms separate and independent mean the following: Separate: A structure is considered separate if it is surrounded by walls, fence, etc., and is covered by roof. Independent: A structure is said to be independent if it has direct access via a public staircase, communal passageway or landing (that is, occupants can come in or go out of their living quarters without passing through someone else’s premises). In general, living quarters can be classified into two categories, that is: (i) Built or converted for living (e.g. house, flat, apartment, shophouse, makeshift hut, hotel, hostels, etc.) (ii) Not meant for living but used for this purpose on Census Day (e.g. in a building such as office, shop, barn, community hall, etc.). Living quarters built or converted for living can be further classified into housing units and collective living quarters. Housing units are classified into six main types, namely: House; Flat/apartment/condominium; Shop house, office; Room (with direct access to the outside); improvised/temporary hut; and others. House can be further classified into Detached house; and Semi-detached house.
- Households: A household is defined as a group of persons who live together and make common provision for food and other essentials of living. The people in the group may be related or unrelated or a combination of both. A household may consist of only one person or it may be a multi-member household.
- Group quarters: Living quarters which is built or converted for living (e.g. house, flat, apartment, shophouse, makeshift hut, hotel, hostels, etc.).The 1980 Population Census included all Malaysians and non- Malaysians who had slept in private or small institutional living quarters during Census Night. However, there were several group of people who did not fall into the above category and for whom special arrangements were made: (a) Persons living in remote and security areas - These include the Orang Asli (Aborigines) in Peninsular Malaysia and other indigenous groups who live deep in the jungles in the interior of Sabah and Sarawak; also persons in security areas were included. The enumeration of such persons was done in a single stage operation. (b) Military, naval and diplomatic personnel and their families and civilians staying outside Malaysia - Since the strategy of enumeration was based on the de facto approach, this group of persons were excluded from the count. Civilians who were temporarily away from the country were also excluded. (c) Resident merchants, seamen and passengers who were at sea on Census night. The following were included:- (i) Crews and passengers on coastal ships sailing in Malaysian waters or in Malaysian ports or sailing between Malaysian ports; (ii) Crews and passengers on vessels registered in Malaysia and engaged in regional trade. Crews and passengers on foreign registered ships in port or in Malaysian waters were, however, excluded. (d) Civilian residents who cross a frontier daily to work in another country -This group was included in the census if they were in Malaysia on Census night. (e) Foreign military, naval and diplomatic personnel and their families located in the country -All persons in this category were included in the census with the exception of persons having diplomatic immunity. (f) Transients -Wayfarers, homeless people and travellers were included in the census. Special arrangements were made with the police, railway and marine authorities to enumerate these people. (g) Institutions -Institutions in large hotels, hostels, hospitals and prisons were also included. (h) Army camps and army personnel on patrol -Army personnel were included in the census, through the assistance of the commanding officers of the camps.

Face-to-face [f2f]Five types of schedules were used for the 1980 Population and Housing Census: Form 1 consisted of a House Listing Book; Form 2 was the schedule used in the Housing Census; Form 3 was used to collect information on households and; Form 4 was used for collecting individual particulars. However, persons in large hotels, hostels, hospitals, prisons and other institutions were enumerated on Form 33, a shortened version of Form 4.de facto, CENSUS DAY: 1980-06-10 00:00:00Self-weighting.

Before data may be distributed to an individual researcher, an electronic license agreement must be signed and approved.
To gain access to the data, a researcher must agree to the following:
(1) Implement security measures to prevent unauthorized access to census microdata. Under IPUMS International agreements with collaborating agencies, redistribution of the data to third parties is prohibited.
(2) Use the microdata for the exclusive purposes of scholarly research and education. Researchers must explicitly agree to not use microdata acquired for any commercial or income-generating venture.
(3) Maintain the confidentiality of persons, households, and other entities. Any attempt to ascertain the identity of persons or households from the microdata is prohibited. Alleging that a person or household has been identified is also prohibited.
(4) Report all publications based on these data to IPUMS International, which will in turn pass the information on to the relevant national statistical agencies.
Once a project is approved, a password is issued and data may be acquired through the Internet. Penalties for violating the license include: revocation of the license, recall of all microdata acquired, filing of a motion of censure to the appropriate professional organizations, and civil prosecution under the relevant national or international statutes.
These safeguards mirror the principles from the Joint ECE/Eurostat Work Session on Statistical Data Confidentiality. Employees of the Minnesota Population Center who work with the census microdata to produce the harmonized database also sign agreements to respect the confidentiality of the data.
IPUMS International works with each country's statistical office to minimize the risk of disclosure of respondent information. The details of the confidentiality protections vary across countries, but in all cases, names and detailed geographic information are suppressed and top-codes are imposed on variables such as income that might identify specific persons. In addition, IPUMS International uses a variety of technical procedures to enhance confidentiality protection. These include the following:
(1) Swapping an undisclosed fraction of records from one administrative district to another to make positive identification of individuals impossible.
(2) Randomizing the placement of households within districts to disguise the order in which individuals were enumerated or the data processed.
(3) Aggregating codes of sensitive characteristics (e.g., grouping together very small ethnic categories)
(4) Top- and bottom-coding continuous variables to prevent identification of extreme cases.
The safety record for public-use census microdata is apparently perfect. In almost four decades of use, there has not been a single verified breach of statistical confidentiality. The measures implemented by the IPUMS International are designed to extend this record.Department of Statistics MalaysiaSteven Ruggles, Lara Cleveland, Rodrigo Lovaton, Sula Sarkar, Matthew Sobek, Derek Burk, Dan Ehrlich, Quinn Heimann, Jane Lee, and Nate Merrill.

number unique to each household in a given sample. All person records are assigned the same serial number as the household record that they follow. (Person records also have their own unique identifiers -- see PERNUM.) The combination of SAMPLE and SERIAL provides a unique identifier for every household in the IPUMS-International database; SAMPLE, SERIAL and PERNUM uniquely identify every person in the database.
SERIAL can be used to identify dwellings in some samples. In these samples, the first 7 digits of SERIAL provide the dwelling number common to all households that were sampled from the same structure. The last three digits give the sequence of the household within the dwelling. The following is a list of samples in which dwellings can be inferred:
Chile 1970, 1992, 2002Colombia 1993, 2005Costa Rica 1984, 2000Cuba 2002Dominican Republic 1981, 2002, 2010Ecuador 1990, 2001Germany 1971Hungary 1980, 1990, 2001Jamaica 1982, 1991, 2001Malaysia 1970, 1991, 2000Mexico 1995, 1990, 2000, 2005Nigeria 2006Panama 2000Peru 1993, 2007Portugal 1981, 1991, 2001Spain 1991Uruguay 2011Venezuela 1990, 2001Vietnam 1989In all other samples, the last 3 digits are always zeroes.
SERIAL was constructed for IPUMS-International, and has no relation to the serial number in the original datasets.
The U.S. 1900 sample and 1880 10% sample have multi-household dwellings that can be identified using the last 3 digits of SERIAL.SERIAL is a 10-digit numeric variable.
The last 3 digits of SERIAL indicate household number within dwelling for selected samples noted in the variable description. In all other samples, the last 3 digits are always zeroes.Technical Household Variables -- HOUSEHOLDNumber of person records in the householdPERSONS indicates how many person records are included in the household (i.e., the number of person records associated with the household record in the sample). These person records will all have the same serial number (SERIAL) as the household record. The information contained in the household record will normally apply to all of these persons.PERSONS is a 4-digit numeric variable.Technical Household Variables -- HOUSEHOLDHousehold weightHHWT indicates the number of households in the population represented by the household in the sample.
For the samples that are truly weighted (see the comparability discussion), HHWT must be used to yield accurate household-level statistics.
NOTE: HHWT has 2 implied decimal places. That is, the last two digits of the eight-digit variable are decimal digits, but there is no actual decimal in the data.HHWT is an 8-digit numeric variable with 2 implied decimal places. See the variable description.Technical Household Variables -- HOUSEHOLDSubsample numberSUBSAMP allocates each case to one of 100 subsample replicates, randomly numbered from 0 to 99. Each subsample is nationally representative and preserves any stratification of the sample from which it is drawn. Users who need a representative subset of a sample can use SUBSAMP to select their cases. For example, to randomly extract 10% of the cases from a sample, select any 10 of the 100 subsamples.001st 1% subsample012nd 1% subsample023rd 1% subsample034th 1% subsample045th 1% subsample056th 1% subsample067th 1% subsample078th 1% subsample089th 1% subsample0910th 1% subsample1011th 1% subsample1112th 1% subsample1213th 1% subsample1314th 1% subsample1415th 1% subsample1516th 1% subsample1617th 1% subsample1718th 1% subsample1819th 1% subsample1920th 1% subsample2021st 1% subsample2122nd 1% subsample2223rd 1% subsample2324th 1% subsample2425th 1% subsample2526th 1% subsample2627th 1% subsample2728th 1% subsample2829th 1% subsample2930th 1% subsample3031st 1% subsample3132nd 1% subsample3233rd 1% subsample3334th 1% subsample3435th 1% subsample3536th 1% subsample3637th 1% subsample3738th 1% subsample3839th 1% subsample3940th 1% subsample4041st 1% subsample4142nd 1% subsample4243rd 1% subsample4344th 1% subsample4445th 1% subsample4546th 1% subsample4647th 1% subsample4748th 1% subsample4849th 1% subsample4950th 1% subsample5051st 1% subsample5152nd 1% subsample5253rd 1% subsample5354th 1% subsample5455th 1% subsample5556th 1% subsample5657th 1% subsample5758th 1% subsample5859th 1% subsample5960th 1% subsample6061st 1% subsample6162nd 1% subsample6263rd 1% subsample6364th 1% subsample6465th 1% subsample6566th 1% subsample6667th 1% subsample6768th 1% subsample6869th 1% subsample6970th 1% subsample7071st 1% subsample7172nd 1% subsample7273rd 1% subsample7374th 1% subsample7475th 1% subsample7576th 1% subsample7677th 1% subsample7778th 1% subsample7879th 1% subsample7980th 1% subsample8081st 1% subsample8182nd 1% subsample8283rd 1% subsample8384th 1% subsample8485th 1% subsample8586th 1% subsample8687th 1% subsample8788th 1% subsample8889th 1% subsample8990th 1% subsample9091st 1% subsample9192nd 1% subsample9293rd 1% subsample9394th 1% subsample9495th 1% subsample9596th 1% subsample9697th 1% subsample9798th 1% subsample9899th 1% subsample99100th 1% subsampleTechnical Household Variables -- HOUSEHOLDDonated householdHHDONATE identifies households that were donated during the IPUMS data editing process.0Not donated1DonatedTechnical Household Variables -- HOUSEHOLDStrata identifierThis variable is the strata identifier for the sample.

Group quarters -- collective dwellings -- are generally institutions and other group living arrangements such as rooming houses and boarding schools.
Institutions often retain persons under formal supervision or custody, such as correctional institutions, military barracks, asylums, or nursing homes. Educational and religious group dwellings (e.g., boarding schools, convents, monasteries, etc.) are also included in the institutional classification.
Group quarter designations are often useful for understanding the universe of households that answered questions about household characteristics. Censuses will often exclude group quarters from such questions.00Vacant10Households20Group quarters (collective), n.s.21Institutions22Other group quarters291-person unit created by splitting large household99Unknown/group quarters not identifiedGroup Quarters Variables -- HOUSEHOLDGroup quarters typeGQTYPE identifies the type of group quarters -- collective dwellings -- which are broadly classified into institutional and non-institutional types.
Institutions are a place of residence where people are subject to a common authority or bound by a common objective or personal interest. The definition encompasses correctional facilities, health institutions, retirement homes, orphanages, shelters (social welfare institutions), military or police establishments, boarding schools, and religious group dwellings.
Non-institutional group quarters comprise refugee and workers' camps (temporary accommodation), hotels, pensions, and all types of boarding or lodging houses. The "floating population" is included as a category within the non-institutional group quarters, when identified by the corresponding sample. This group refers to outdoor sleepers, homeless persons, travelers, and persons in ships, boats, or other mobile dwellings.

Family membership is defined by FAMUNIT. A "family" is any group of persons related by blood, adoption, or marriage. An unrelated individual within the household is considered a separate family. Thus, a household consisting of a widow and a domestic employee contains two families; a household consisting of a large, multi-generation extended family with no persons unrelated to the head counts as a single family.

Strata is a constructed variable that captures implicit geographic stratification resulting from the sample design. It is created by assigning a unique identifier to groups of between 10 and 19 adjacent households. Additional documentation is available on the Variance Estimation page.This is a 4-digit numeric variable with 0 implied decimal placesGeography: F-N Variables -- HOUSEHOLDPerson numberPERNUM numbers all persons within each household consecutively (starting with "1" for the first person record of each household). When combined with SAMPLE and SERIAL, PERNUM uniquely identifies each person in the IPUMS-International database.PERNUM is a 4-digit numeric variable.Technical Person Variables -- PERSONPerson weightPERWT indicates the number of persons in the actual population represented by the person in the sample.
For the samples that are truly weighted (see the comparability discussion), PERWT must be used to yield accurate statistics for the population.
NOTE: PERWT has 2 implied decimal places. That is, the last two digits of the eight-digit variable are decimal digits, but there is no actual decimal in the data.PERWT is an 8-digit numeric variable with 2 implied decimal places. See the variable description.Technical Person Variables -- PERSONMother's location in householdMOMLOC is a constructed variable that indicates whether or not the person's mother lived in the same household and, if so, gives the person number of the mother (see PERNUM). MOMLOC makes it easy for researchers to link the characteristics of children and their (probable) mothers.
The method by which probable child-mother links are identified is described in PARRULE.
The general design of MOMLOC and other constructed variables follows the methods developed for IPUMS-USA "Family Interrelationships," but the details vary significantly. For more details on the construction of MOMLOC, see the Comparability section of PARRULE and this paper on IPUMSI family linking methodology.
Note: MOMLOC identifies social relationships (such as stepmother and adopted mother) as well as biological relationships. The variable STEPMOM is designed to identify some of these social relationships. To restrict MOMLOC to biological mothers, such as for own children fertility estimation, MOMLOC should be reset to zero when STEPMOM is greater than zero.MOMLOC is a 3-digit numeric variable.
Codes0 = No mother of this person present in the household.
1 or higher = The person number of this person's motherConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONFather's location in householdPOPLOC is a constructed variable that indicates whether or not the person's father lived in the same household and, if so, gives the person number of the father (see PERNUM). POPLOC makes it easy for researchers to link the characteristics of children and their (probable) fathers.
The method by which probable child-father links are identified is described in PARRULE.
The general design of POPLOC and other constructed variables follows the methods developed for IPUMS-USA "Family Interrelationships," but the details vary significantly. For more details on the construction of POPLOC, see the Comparability section of PARRULE and this paper on IPUMSI family linking methodology.
Note: POPLOC identifies social relationships (such as stepfather and adopted father) as well as biological relationships. The variable STEPPOP is designed to identify some of these social relationships. To restrict POPLOC to biological mothers, such as for own children fertility estimation, POPLOC should be reset to zero when STEPPOP is greater than zero.POPLOC is a 3-digit numeric variable.

SPLOC makes it easy for researchers to link the characteristics of (probable) spouses.
The method by which probable spouse-spouse links are identified is described in SPRULE.
The general design of SPLOC and other constructed variables is modeled on the methods developed for IPUMS-USA "Family Interrelationships", but the details vary significantly. For more details on the construction of SPLOC, see the Comparability section of SPRULE and this paper on IPUMSI family linking methodology.SPLOC is a 3-digit numeric variable.
Codes0 = No spouse of this person present in the household.
1 or higher = The person number of this person's spouseConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONRule for linking parentPARRULE describes the criteria by which the IPUMS International variables MOMLOC and POPLOC linked the person to a probable mother and/or father.
IPUMS International establishes child-parent links according to five basic rules, and PARRULE gives the number of the rule that applied to the link in question. A link to any parent automatically generates a second link to that parent's spouse or partner, so only one rule is needed to describe both MOMLOC and POPLOC.
The design of the interrelationship variables is described in this paper on IPUMSI family linking methodology.00No parent of person in household11Link to head or spouse, unambiguous12Link to head or spouse, ambiguous21Child-Grandchild, within empirical child cap22Child-Grandchild, within constructed child cap23Child-Grandchild, exceeds child cap31Specified Other Relatives, within empirical child cap32Specified Other Relatives, within constructed child cap33Specified Other Relatives, exceeds child cap41Other Relatives, within empirical child cap42Other Relatives, within constructed child cap51Non-Relatives, within empirical child cap52Non-Relatives, within constructed child capConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONRule for linking spouseSPRULE explains the criteria by which the IPUMS-International variable SPLOC linked the person to his/her probable spouse.
IPUMS International establishes spouse-spouse links according to five basic rules, and SPRULE gives the number of the rule that applied to the link in question. A sixth rule identifies sample-specific linking procedures only imposed in selected instances.
The design of the interrelationship variables is described in this paper on IPUMSI family linking methodology.00No spouse present01Rule 1: strong relationship pairing, couple adjacent02Rule 2: strong relationship pairing, couple not adjacent03Rule 3: weak relationship pairing, couple adjacent04Rule 4: weak relationship pairing, couple not adjacent05Rule 5: weak consensual union pairings06Rule 6: sample-specific rules (usually child-to-child)Constructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONProbable stepmotherSTEPMOM indicates whether a person's mother, as identified by MOMLOC, was most probably not the person's biological mother. Non-zero values of STEPMOM explain why it is probable that the person's mother was a step- or adopted mother. A value of 0 indicates no likely stepmother because (1) the mother identified in MOMLOC was probably the biological mother or (2) there is no mother of this person present in the household.
The codes for STEPMOM are as follows:
0 = Biological mother or no mother of this person present in household.
1 = Mother has no children born or surviving.
2 = Child reports mother is deceased.
3 = Explicitly identified relationship (stepchild, adopted child, child of unmarried partner, stepchild/child-in-law).
4 = Mother reports no children in the home.
5 = Age difference between mother and child was less than 12 or greater than 54 years.
6 = Child exceeds known fertility of mother.
In cases where more than one criterion for a likely stepmother is met, STEPMOM will take the value of the criterion with the lowest code. See PARRULE for a description of the linking process.
In cases where a mother is linked to more children than she reports in CHBORN or CHSURV, the determination of which children to flag as probable stepchildren is based first on the strength of the child-mother pairing (see PARRULE), and then on the order of children in the household roster. Since most links to a given mother will be made at the same strength level, order will often be the decisive factor in flagging probable stepmother relationships.
Users should note that there are many stepmothers and adopted mothers in the population that cannot be identified with information available in the censuses. Therefore, STEPMOM will always under-represent their actual number in the population.0Biological mother or no mother present1Mother has no children born or surviving2Child reports mother is deceased3Explicitly identified step relationship4Mother reports no children in the home5Age difference implausible6Child exceeds known fertility of motherConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONProbable stepfatherSTEPPOP indicates whether a person's father, as identified by POPLOC, was most probably not the person's biological father. Non-zero values of STEPPOP explain why it is probable that the person's father was a step- or adopted father. A value of 0 indicates no likely stepfather because (1) the father identified in POPLOC was probably the biological father or (2) there is no father of this person present in the household.
The codes for STEPPOP are as follows:
0 = Biological father or no father of this person present in household.
1 = Child reports father is deceased.
2 = Explicitly identified relationship (stepchild, adopted child, child of unmarried partner; stepchild/child-in-law).
3 = Age difference between father and child was less than 12 or greater than 54 years.
In cases where more than one criterion for a likely stepfather is met, STEPPOP will take the value of the criterion with the lowest code. See PARRULE for a description of the linking process.
Users should note that there are many stepfathers and adopted fathers in the population that cannot be identified with information available in the censuses. Therefore, STEPPOP will always under-represent their actual number in the population.0Biological father or no father present1Child reports father is deceased2Explicitly identified step relationship3Age difference implausible4Spouse of mother5Identified as adopted6Surname difference -- male child or never-married femaleConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONMan with more than one wife linkedPOLYMAL indicates if a man had more than one wife linked to him in the constructed IPUMS variable SPLOC -- Spouse's Location in Household.
The point of POLYMAL is to facilitate using SPLOC in samples that identify polygamy. Some statistical matching procedures expect to find only one matching record for each subject record.0No more than one wife linked via SPLOC1More than one wife linked via SPLOCConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONWoman is second or higher order wifePOLY2ND indicates if a woman was the second or higher order wife linked to a husband in the constructed IPUMS variable SPLOC -- Spouse's Location in Household. The variable does not suggest the actual marital order of wives, only their relative positions in the person order of the household as it was enumerated.

Some statistical matching procedures expect to find only one matching record for each subject record.0Person is not the 2nd or higher order wife linked via SPLOC1Person is the 2nd or higher order wife linked via SPLOCConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONFamily unit membershipFAMUNIT is a constructed variable indicating to which family within the household a person belongs.
All persons related to the household head receive a 1 (see RELATE). Each secondary family or secondary individual receives a higher code. For purposes of FAMUNIT, secondary families are individuals or groups of persons linked together by the IPUMS constructed pointer variables SPLOC, MOMLOC, and POPLOC (location of spouse, mother, and father).FAMUNIT is a 4-digit numeric variable.
CodesIf there is only one group of related individuals within the household, all of them will be coded "1;" if there is a second, separate such group listed on the form, all of them will be coded "2," and so on.Constructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONNumber of own family members in householdFAMSIZE counts the number of the person's own family members living in the household with her/him, including the person her/himself. These include all persons related to the person by blood, adoption, or marriage as indicated by the census forms or inferred from them.
FAMSIZE is calculated from the units identified in the IPUMS constructed variable FAMUNIT (family unit membership). The primary family is defined as all persons related to the head in the RELATE variable. Secondary families are individuals or groups of persons linked together by the IPUMS constructed pointer variables SPLOC, MOMLOC, and POPLOC (location of spouse, mother, and father).00011 family member present00022 family members present00033 family members present000440005500066000770008800099001010001111001212001313001414001515001616001717001818001919002020002121002222002323002424002525002626002727002828002929003030003131003232003333003434003535003636003737003838003939004040004141004242004343004444004545004646004747004848004949005050005151005252005353005454005555005656005757005858005959006060006161006262006363006464006565006666006767006868006969007070007171007272007373007474007575007676007777007878007979008080008181008282008383008484008585008686008787008888008989009090009191009292009393009494009595009696009797009898009999 or more personsConstructed Family Interrelationship Variables -- PERSONNumber of own children in householdNCHILD provides a count of the person's own children living in the household with her or him.

EDATTAIN does not necessarily reflect any particular country's definition of the various levels of schooling in terms of terminology or the number of years of schooling. EDATTAIN is an attempt to merge -- into a single, roughly comparable variable -- samples that provide degrees, ones that provide actual years of schooling, and those that have some of both. In addition to EDATTAIN, a country-specific education classification is provided which loses no information and reflects the particular educational system of that country (for example EDUCBR for Brazil, EDUCCL for Chile, and EDUCUS for the United States). As always, users can refer to the original education source variables for each sample, if they wish.
Many samples also give single years of schooling completed, recorded in YRSCHOOL.

Labor force participation generally means working or seeking work within a specified reference period.
For most samples LABFORCE is a recode of EMPSTAT (employment status). A consistent lower age universe of 15 or older has been applied to increase comparability across samples.

For someone with more than one job, the primary occupation is typically the one in which the person had spent the most time or earned the most money.01Legislators, senior officials and managers02Professionals03Technicians and associate professionals04Clerks05Service workers and shop and market sales06Skilled agricultural and fishery workers07Crafts and related trades workers08Plant and machine operators and assemblers09Elementary occupations10Armed forces11Other occupations, unspecified or n.e.c.97Response suppressed98Unknown99NIU (not in universe)Work Variables -- PERSONOccupation, unrecodedOCC records the person's primary occupation, classified according to the system used by the respective national census office at the time. For someone with more than one job, the primary occupation is usually the one in which the person spent the most time or earned the most money, although this may not have been explicit in the instructions for a specific census.
To ensure confidentiality, very small occupations are recoded to a residual category indicating the persons had an occupation, but the job title is not identified. The number of cases recoded should be too small to affect analyses.OCC is a 4-digit numeric variable.
Some samples use fewer than 4 digits. In those cases, the data are right-justified, and the extra leading digits are padded with zeroes.

that can be fairly consistently identified across all available samples. The groupings roughly conform to the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC). The third digit of INDGEN retains important detail among the service industries that could not be consistently distinguished in all samples.

Work Variables -- PERSONStatus in employment (class of worker) [general version]CLASSWK refers to the status of an economically active person with respect to his or her employment -- that is, the type of explicit or implicit contract of employment with other persons or organizations that the person has in his/her job. In general, the variable indicates whether a person was self-employed, or worked for someone else, either for pay or as an unpaid family worker. CLASSWK is related to EMPSTAT, which is used to define the universe in many samples.

Write the information on age in completed years and months from last birthday on the lines provided. If the person is less than 1 year old, record the age as '00' years. If a person is 100 or over years of age, we will consider him to be '99', as this is the highest age you will record.<br /><br />For older persons and for persons not so well educated, difficulty may be encountered with this question. If the person has an I.C. (or other documents) handy, he may use them to answer the question.<br /><br />If the information on 'age in completed years' cannot be obtained by direct question, the information may still be obtained by asking probing questions, for example, by stating some important events in the person's life like number of years married, years lived in this kampung, etc.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 67]</span><br /><br />A calendar of notable events is also supplied to you (see Form 14(a)/14(b)/14(c)). If you can relate some important event in the person's life with an event in your calendar, you may be able to make a reasonable guess at the person's age. A simple example would be the following:<br /><div class="i1">You ask a woman whether she was married before the Japanese came. She might say that she got married just after they left. You then ask her whether she was a very young woman when she married. She then may give you some idea that her age at marriage was about twenty in 1945, then her present age (in 1980) must be about 55.<br /><br />An even better calculation could be made if you know the age of her eldest child.<br /><br />You may be able to ask a person to show you how old he was at the time of an event on your calendar. He could do this by pointing out a child who is about the same size as he was then. If he was about 10 years old in (say) 1930 then he must be about 60 years old in 1980.</div><br /><br />As a last resort, you may have to make a guess using the appearance of the informant and the appearance or known ages of his relative as a guide.<br /><br />Under no circumstances are you to leave Question 4 blank. However, where information on months is not obtainable, this may be left blank. But you must note that information on completed years must be obtained in all cases. After writing the age in completed years, you are also to mark the code boxes for this question. Since there are only 2 digits in this case, you must mark the first digit in the 't' row and the second digit in the 'u' row. Those aged below 10 must have a '0' box marked in the 't' row. Therefore, age nine is marked as '09' , age six is marked as '06' and so on.<br /></svar>Malaysia 1980: All personsThis variable indicates the person's age in completed years.00Lesss than 1 year of age011022033044055066077088099101011111212131314141515161617171818191920202121222223232424252526262727282829293030313132323333343435353636373738383939404041414242434344444545464647474848494950505151525253535454555556565757585859596060616162626363646465656666676768686969707071717272737374747575767677777878797980808181828283838484858586868787888889899090919192929393949495959696979798989999+Demographic Variables -- PERSONYear of birth<svar v="MY80A403 MY80A404" a="all">4.

In some cases particularly for older persons, the respondent may know his age but not the year of birth In this case, calculate the date (year of birth) from the age given. Record the information on day, month and year on the lines provided.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 68]</span><br /><br />Sometimes the respondent disputes the date of birth given in the documents and he gives a different date which he believes to be true. In such cases, enter the date of birth given by him. (However, the age of the person must be reconciled with the birth date if the age was derived from the date in the document). If the person has no documents and does not know his date of birth, you will not be able to record the answer fully. Once you have obtained the date of birth, shade the relevant code boxes provided.<br /><br />There are 3 steps to marking the date of birth:<br /><div class="i1">1. Firstly, if the day is given, check to see if it is before 11th or 11th and after. If it is before 11th then mark the box labeled, 'Before 11th ' and if it is the latter case, mark the box '11th/After 11th'.<br /><br />2. Secondly, mark in the month in the appropriate box numbered from 1 to 12. Thus, if a person was born in April, mark the '04' box, as -this is the fourth month of the year.<br /><br />3. Thirdly, mark the year of birth. You will only mark the last 2 digits of the year, e.g. '49' instead of '1949: Even for cases where persons are born in the last century (i.e. 1800s) you should ignore the first two digits and only consider the last two digits. For example, if a respondent was born in 1895, the boxes 9 and 5 should be marked. Note that there are two rows of code boxes, one for the first digit, and the other for the second digit.</div><br /><br /><span class="em">Question 6</span><br />If the person is a Chinese and Question 5 has not been obtained in full, the additional information has to be obtained based on the Chinese calendar.

To what ethnic group, community or dialect group do you belong? _ _ <br /></svar><svar v="MY80A405" a="all"><span class="em">Question 7</span><br />The word 'ethnic group' refers to a group of people who are bound together by common ties of language, religion, custom, etc.<br /><br />Ask the question as given, and do not make assumptions. Generally accept the answer given, unless it is plainly absurd. Choose the appropriate code from the Enumerator's Code Card (Form 14(a)/ 14(b)/14(c)) and record on the Persons Form in the following way: (i) Write the code in the boxes provided (ii) Write the description of the ethnic group along the line provided to the right of the boxes and (iii) Mark in the code in the coding boxes provided in Question 7.<br /><br />The Enumerator's Code Cards i.e. Forms 14(a), 14(b) and 14(c) list the various sub-ethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak respectively.<br /><br />It should be noted that in the case of Peninsular Malaysia, persons who report themselves as one of the indigenous groups of Sabah and Sarawak should be coded as 'Other Malay Race' (Code 09). The category 'Other Indigenous' refers to Orang Asli/Tribes of Peninsular Malaysia other than those listed (Codes 03-07).<br /><br />For Sabah, all persons who report themselves as one of the indigenous groups and categories as listed in Form 14(b) should be assigned the code '01' (Pri-Bumi). Please note that the indigenous groups of Sarawak also come under this category.<br /><br />In the case of Sarawak, it should be noted that the ethnic groups 'Jisayah', 'Xedayan' and 'Murut' refer to those who come from Sarawak only. The indigenous groups of Sabah found in Sarawak are to be categorized under 'Other Indigenous' (Code 12 in Form 14(c)).<br /><br />Those people of mixed ethnicity may present you with a problem. Some of them are uncertain about the ethnic group they belong to. You must encourage them to make a choice by asking them to consider from which ethnic group they take their language, religion, custom, etc. or to which of their parent's ethnic group they consider themselves as belonging. As a last resort, record the father's ethnicity.<br /><br />To help code the Chinese sub-ethnic groups, the Code Card shows the Chinese characters for the several groups. If you have difficulty, show the person the card and ask him to choose the correct grouping.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 70]</span><br /><br />The following is a guide to several problem cases that may arise during your work:<br /><div class="i1">a. Persons who report themselves as a Javanese, Boyanese, Bugis, etc. are to be recorded as Indonesians. (Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak). In Sabah, they should be recorded as Pri-Bumi.<br /><br />b. Not all Indonesian-born people report themselves as Malays. Many of them regard themselves as Indonesians and should be recorded as such. (Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak). In Sabah they should be recorded as Pri-Bumi.<br /><br />c. The sub-groups Hokchiu and Hokchia are to be coded as 'Foochow' (Sarawak). In Sabah, these sub-groups are included in 'Other Chinese'. The sub-group Henghua is under 'Hokkien' (Sabah).<br /><br />d. If a person answers 'Ceylonese' (for 'Sri Lankan'), check if they are 'Sri Lankan Tamil' or 'Other Sri Lankan'. Do not include 'Sri Lankan Tamils' as Indian Tamils'. In other words, if the respondent's answer is only 'Tamil', ask the respondent whether it is Indian Tamil or Sri Lankan Tamil (Peninsular Malaysia). Those who say they are 'Singhalese' should be classified as 'Other Sri Lankan: (Peninsular Malaysia).<br /><br />e. Do not include Pakistanis as 'Other Indian'. There is a separate category 'Pakistanis' which refer to 'West Pakistanis'. Thus, if the answer is only 'Pakistanis' ask whether it is East or West Pakistanis. East Pakistanis are referred to as 'Bangladeshi', which is a separate category in the list (Peninsular Malaysia).<br /><br />f. Not all Punjabis are Sikhs. If a respondent is a Punjabi other than a Sikh, record him as 'Other Punjabi' (Peninsular Malaysia).<br /><br />g. Nepalese and Gurkhas should be recorded as Other Asian and not as 'Other Indian' (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak).<br /><br />h. 'Other Asian' also refers to Other Asian ethnic groups which are not shown separately in the list (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak).<br /><br />i. Straits-born Chinese (Babas) would be classified under whatever dialect group they identify themselves with. If they are unable to, they would be classified under 'Other Chinese' (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak).<br /><br />j. 'European' also includes Australians and New Zealanders (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak).<br /><br />The category 'Others' is for all people who do not fit into the Codes as specified (Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak).</div><br /></svar>Malaysia 1980: All personsThis variable indicates the ethnic group the person belongs to.01Malay02Indonesian03Negrito04Jakun05Semai06Semelai07Temiar08Other Indigeno09Other Malay Ra10Hokkien11Cantonese12Khek (Hakka)13Teochew14Hainanese15Kwongsai16Hokchiu17Hokchia18Henghua19Other Chinese20Indian Tamil21Malayali22Telegu23Sikh24Other Punjabi25Other Indian26Pakistani27Bangladeshi28Sri Lankan Tam29Other Sri Lank30Thai31Vietnamese32Other Asian33Eurasian34European35OthersEthnicity and Language Variables -- PERSONReligion<svar v="MY80A406" a="all">8.

Use two or more words whenever possible to describe the exact type of work done by the respondent.<br /><br />A person's job designation may not be always adequate by itself. In such cases, additional information describing the nature of his work would be required for purposes of classification.<br /><br />You may sometimes find difficulty in translating occupations given in various dialects/ languages into the Bahasa Malaysia/English equivalents. In such cases, you can record the words actually used by the respondent; for example, words like <span class="lang">mandore, serang, amah, or Hang-kong</span> can be translated in the office at a later stage.<br /></svar>Malaysia 1980: Persons age 10+ who are employed, or active unemployed [discrepancies: none]This variable indicate the principal occupation last week - 3 digits.000NIU (not in

Persons who answer 'No' to Question 37 need not be asked Question 38.<br /><br />In some cases you may find that it is rather silly to ask these questions of those who have attended secondary school, college, etc. To avoid this, you can ask these questions only of those who have never attended school or has only been to primary school.
