Description

ETHNICITYHN (V131HN) is a variable specific to Honduras that reports the woman respondent's ethnicity, based on the question, "Which of the following ethnic groups do you consider yourself to belong?" That most respondents did not choose any of these options suggests that the term "ethnic group" implied indigenous ethnicity, and "none" usually meant "Ladino" (Spanish-speaking and mixed Spanish/indigenous ethnicity).
