Codes and Frequencies
Description
RICKSHAW indicates whether the household, or some member of the household, has or owns a rickshaw or van.
The information in RICKSHAW is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, 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.
