Description
DONKEYNUM reports the number of donkeys owned by the household.
The information in DONKEYNUM is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
Comparability
DONKEYNUM varies across samples in question wording. Some samples asked about the ownership of donkeys specifically, but some samples, noted below, included other animals in the same question.
Comparability - Standard DHS
DONKEYNUM is a country-specific household variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
