Codes and Frequencies
Description
ETHNICITYPH (V131PH) is a variable specific to the Philippines that reports the woman respondent's ethnicity.
Comparability
ETHNICITYPH (V131PH) has been recoded by IPUMS DHS to be consistent across samples. The original source data vary greatly in the number and specifics of ethnic groups identified, with little consistency apart from the categories shown in the ETHNICITYPH. Categories that were not present in all samples were grouped into the "other" category, to achieve comparability.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ETHNICITY (V131) is a country-specific variable included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase 2 forward, with no standard wording or response categories.
