GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
To generate the Region and Area of residence, the original variables will be recoded to include the country UN standardized 3 digits code (already used in COUNTRY) in addition to the REG or AREA code, standardized on 3 digits as well.
This is to avoid possible mismatches between these two variables' codes across different countries when the datasets are merged.
