Migrations between Africa and Europe - MAFE DR Congo (2009)

!! One line per interviewee !!
This dataset contains variables that do not very over time, i.e. answers to the introductory module of the questionnaire and to variables from the inter-modules of the questionnaire, plus some computed variables.

As for variables statu_mig, migr_cur, migr_ret, migr_cjt and migr_no: a same individual can be coded 1 in several of the migratory status variables; e.g. a same individual can be both returnee and a partner of a migrant at the time of the survey.
NB: these variables may show results different from the stratification variable (strata_ind), which content was determined by answers given by proxy respondents in the household surveys. These variables (migr_*, presented in this table) are computed using the information obtained in the biographic surveys.

One line per HH, i.e. a total of 1576 HH in DR Congo
The dataset contains information on:
- HH characteristics (computed variables from modules A & B);
- HH head characteristics (all variables from module A, including the computed variables created for the dataset "qm_indiv"). Variables names: hh_a1 to hh_a21;
- Housing and assets of the HH head (module E);
- Information on the conduct of the interview (module O).

One line per declared individual in the HH questionnaire, i.e. a total of 15558 individuals in DR Congo

Observations in this data file correspond to:
- Individuals living in the household at the time of the survey (A4=1)
- Individuals living outside the household (A4=2) included in the roster if they enter into one of the following categories:
*/ children of the HH head who no longer live with her/him, whatever her/his place of residence;
*/ partners of household members who live outside DR Congo;
*/ parents of household members who live outside DR Congo;
*/ other people living outside DR Congo and who had regular contact with the household during the 12 months before the survey.

WARNING! Don't forget that only part of the people listed in the household questionnaires, i.e. in "qm_indiv" are actual members of the households.
Furthermore, keep in mind that some individuals, in this dataset, never lived in Congo, Ghana or Senegal. For example:
- Descendants of migrants, born in the destination country of their parents. Ex: the HH head is a grandfather whose son has immigrated to France, where he had children. These children can be mentioned by the grandfather in the third category "other persons living outside Senegal but who have kept regular contact with the HH during the 12 months before the survey", even if they have never lived in Senegal.
- Relatives of immigrants in Congo, Ghana or Senegal. Ex: the HH head is an immigrant woman from Angola. She has left behind (in her home country) her husband and children. Even if they have never lived in Congo, she mentioned them in the HH questionnaire because they are in the third category.

The dataset contains all variables of the questionnaire and some additional computed variables.

!! One line per return to DR Congo for each person who declared at least one return and one line for the other interviewees !!
Note: returns listed in this module are returns that lasted at least 1 year and shorter returns but with the intention of settling. Other returns (less than a year without intention to resettle) are listed in the qb_short_return datafiles.
This dataset contains:
- all the answers to the module Return to DR Congo.
- a series of dichotomous variables created from the questions q707 and q708.
