Comparability

The units in DHS_IPUMSI_ZM are harmonized across DHS and IPUMS-International samples to account for changing boundaries in the major administrative level of geography. The time span for DHS samples are 1992 to 2018 and corresponds to the census samples from 1990 to 2010 in IPUMS-International.

The 1988 DHS sample is excluded from this variable, because it is only representative at the national level.

Boundary Changes: Muchinga province was formed from parts of Northern and Eastern provinces after 2010.
