Description

HUSEDYRJO reports the number of years of schooling the respondent's husband completed at the highest level of schooling achieved, in the Jordan educational system and as reported in HUSEDLVLJO. This variable is country-specific to Jordan.

Comparability

In addition to universe differences, HUSEDYRJO differs across samples in the available education level categories, largely due to changes in the Jordan educational system.

Because HUSEDYRJO reports the number of years of schooling at the highest level achieved, "4 years" does not mean 4 years total, but 4 years at whichever level of education the respondent achieved, within the Jordan educational system. Thus, a code of 4 could indicate 4 years of primary school, a high school degree, or a bachelor's degree, for example. Users should consult the Survey Text tab for exact question wording and surrounding questions.
