Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
Should not be imputed, it can be generated only for those to whom the question was asked (in other words, the youngest age at which information is collected may differ depending on the survey).
Married refers to only formal marriages (including legally married). Polygamous unions includes males with multiple spouses.
Number of spouses in household can be applied to compute polygamy.

There is no Polygamous status for females. Generally the information about polygamous status is available only for the head (male). For the other individuals we consider those having the status married as monogamous.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Multiple spouse is forbidden in Tunisia by law as a result the category "Married polygamous" is never identified
