Description

HHBIRTHCERTPARID indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the respondent for the household survey (LINENOHHRESP (HV003)) reported that a valid identification card for the parents or godparents is needed to register a birth (with the civil authorities).

The information in HHBIRTHCERTPARID is taken from the household record and applies to regular household members, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
