Description

HUSAGE2 reports the age of the woman's current or most recent husband/partner.

The related variable HUSAGE (V730) reports the age of the woman's current husband/partner only (for most samples).

For a small number of samples included in both HUSAGE and HUSAGE2, a single variable reports the age of the woman's current or most recent husband/partner, and the age of the woman's current husband/partner only is not reported separately.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, HUSAGE2 is largely comparable across samples.

Comparability - Standard DHS

HUSAGE2 is a country-specific variable and is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
