GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
There might be a problem identifying the mother from the Roster in case of multiple spouses. This variable can be clearly identified only in the fathers'/mothers' ID is provided in the dataset. In case of only one spouse she is assumed to be the mother, unless the age checking is could identify those living with their step mother (mother died or divorced).
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
All the parents related variables were created by ERF including the presence status. It is generated using the relationship to the 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 and for the head’s grandchildren if he/she has an ever married son/daughter or an in-law living in the household.
In case of multiple spouses, the children of each spouse do not follow her in the order of data entry. Therefore, the mother characteristics in case of multiple spouses could not be generated. Since the head's children cannot be assigned to their mothers if the head has more than one spouse living the household.
Similarly, the fathers' and mothers' characteristics could not be generated for the heads' grandchildren if the head has more than one ever married son/daughter and/or one in-law living in the household. Since the order of the data entry does not allow for a correct assignment of children to their corresponding parents.
Niece/Nephew, heads' brothers/sisters and heads' brothers/sisters in law are identified in the relationship to head variable (B2). However, the fathers' and mothers' characteristics could not be generated though for the heads' nieces/nephews, since the order of the data entry does not allow for a correct assignment of children to their corresponding parents.
