Description

For women who want to have a (another) child, IDEALAGECH (V617) reports the ideal age of their youngest child at the time of a future birth.

Comparability

Apart from slight variation in question wording, IDEALAGECH (V617) is largely comparable across samples. Most commonly, the surveys asked pregnant women, "How old would you like the child you are expecting to be when your next child is born?" and asked non-pregnant women, "How old would you like your youngest child to be when your next child is born?"

Comparability - Standard DHS

IDEALAGECH (V617) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase II.
