Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
There is no polygamous status for females. Generally the information about polygamous status is available only for the male head. For the other individuals, we consider those having the status married as monogamous.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
In the raw data, an aggregated "other" category is provided to indicate the divorced, separated or widowed. To split the original category, those younger than 60 years of age were assumed to be divorced/separated, while those aged 60 years or older were assumed to be widowed.
