Description

BOATANY indicates whether the household has a boat. The complementary variable BOATNUM reports the number of boats owned by the household.

Comparability

Apart from slight differences in question wording, BOATANY is comparable across most samples. As discussed below in the information on specific countries, some surveys asked whether the household "owned" a boat, whether others asked whether the household "had" a boat. The latter wording might encompass renting or borrowing, as well as ownership.

The information in BOATANY is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").

Comparability - Standard DHS

BOATANY is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
