CHLHHWEIGHT (CHLHHWEIGHT)
Sample weight for child labor module
Return to Child labor variables list

CHLHHWEIGHT is an 8-digit numeric variable.

Description

CHLHHWEIGHT is an 8-digit variable, which should be used as a weighting factor for the subset of persons in households containing children (generally age 5 to 17) who were randomly selected for questions about children's work, in the child labor module. For households not included in the child labor module, CHLHHWEIGHT is set to zero.

Note: For researchers using a flat data file (.dat), CHLHHWEIGHT contains 6 implied decimal places, and researchers should divide this variable by 1,000,000 before applying it as a weighting factor. For all other data formats, CHLHHWEIGHT has already been adjusted, and researchers do not need to make any changes before using this variable.

Comparability

Apart from slight universe differences, CHLHHWEIGHT has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

CHLHHWEIGHT is not included in any phase of the standard DHS household questionnaire, but it is included the standard child labor module for Phase VII.
