GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
In case there is no information available about whether the father is dead or not we just use code 2 (not a HH member). In case, the relationship to head variable indicates that the brother of the head is living in the HH with nephews/nieces of the head we assume that these last are the sons/daughters of the head's brother.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
* All parents' related variables were generated by ERF including the presence status generated using the relationship to head variable, therefore those dead could not be identified.
* Father's and Mother's variables were generated for the head of the household's children, the head him/herself whenever his/her parent(s) are household members, for the head’s siblings if parents’ data is available, and for the head’s grandchildren if he/she has married sons/daughters or in laws living in the household. In some cases, children were linked to their parents based on the HH data entry order.
* Since the relationship to the head variable did not include the son/daughter in law category, to generate the in-laws' characteristics, we assumed that the son in law is a married male recoded as other relative in the relationship to head variable where the number of married female daughters in the household >=1.
The same technique was applied to the daughter in law, a married female recoded as other relative in the relationship to head variable where the number of married male sons >=1 is considered a daughter in law.
In case of the head has multiple spouses, the identification of the children’s mothers among different spouses is judgmental whether on age basis, or on members' order in the household.
