One line per declared individual in the HH questionnaire, i.e. a total of 7135 individuals in Ghana
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 Ghana;
*/ parents of household members who live outside Ghana;
*/ other people living outside Ghana 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.
