The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
Codes and Frequencies
Description
WKEMPLTYPE reports the type of employer for whom the respondent works.
Comparability
In addition to universe differences and variations in question wording, WKEMPLTYPE includes different response categories. IPUMS-DHS maximizes comparability by using composite coding, with the first digit distinguishing between "government," "other public sector," and "private sector" work, and the second digit distinguishing between types of private sector employment (e.g., code "32" for "family members").
Comparability - Standard DHS
WKEMPLTYPE is a country-specific variable not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
