Codes and Frequencies
Description
HUSJOB (V705) reports the occupation of the woman's husband/partner in somewhat standardized categories. The categories included, and the degree of detail within broad categories (e.g., self-employed versus employee in agriculture, or simply agriculture), vary across samples. IPUMS-DHS employs composite coding to maximize comparability across samples (using the first digit of the codes to indicate broader job categories) without loss of detailed information (preserved in the second digit).
The category "agriculture" includes fishermen, foresters, breeders, and hunters as well as farmers.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight variation in question wording, HUSJOB (V705) is largely comparable across samples, except for some differences in the degree of detail within broad occupational categories. Although the majority of surveys use an open-ended question and do not include a list of possible responses, some surveys (noted below) depart from this standard by providing categories to the open-ended question.
The DHS phase II recode manual notes, "in countries where it is not possible to differentiate between self-employed agricultural workers and agricultural employees, no attempt has been made to use other information, and code 4 has been used for both categories. The analyst may wish to use other related information to differentiate between these two categories." As noted in the Description tab, IPUMS-DHS employs composite coding to maximize comparability across samples, including addressing this issue.
Comparability - Standard DHS
HUSJOB (V705) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for phase I forward.
Comparability — Angola [top]
The 2015 Angola survey asks about employment in the household questionnaire only. If the household questionnaire does not contain information about the respondent's husband, they are coded as "Missing."
Comparability — South Africa [top]
Unlike most other surveys, the 2016 South Africa survey does not limit marriage or cohabitation to a relationship between a man and a woman; the 2016 South Africa questionnaire asks about the woman's "spouse/partner."
Comparability — Sri Lanka [top]
The 1987 Sri Lanka survey provides a list of possible responses in this survey question. See the Survey Text tab for the exact question wording.
Comparability — Uganda [top]
The Uganda 1988 survey provides a list of possible responses in this survey question. See the Survey Text tab for the exact question wording.
