Description

KIDBIRTHMO (B1) reports the child's month of birth, according to the Gregorian calendar.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences, KIDBIRTHMO (B1) is largely comparable across samples. For all samples, interviewers first asked, "In what month and year was (NAME) born?" In some samples, if no exact response was given, a follow-up probe about the date of the child's birthday and/or the question "In what season was he/she born?" was asked.

Some countries use other calendars. The following variables report the child's month of birth according to country-specific calendars:
