Description

SHEEPGOATYN indicates whether the household has sheep or goats. The related variables SHEEPYN and GOATYN indicate whether the household has sheep and goats, respectively.

The information in SHEEPGOATYN 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

Comparability

SHEEPGOATYN slightly differs across samples in question wording, as noted below. Some samples asked whether the household "owned" these animals, while others asked whether the household "had" such animals (which might imply tending a flock without full ownership in some cases).

Comparability - Standard DHS

SHEEPGOATYN is a country-specific household variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
