Codes and Frequencies
Description
GEO_ NE1992_2021 indicates the region of Niger where the respondent was interviewed. The variable is integrated to yield units with consistent boundaries across samples.
Labels identify the modern geographic units (regions) contained in each integrated region. Each sample also has its own non-integrated geography variable. The 1992, 2006, 2012, and 2021 samples have greater geographic detail available in their sample-specific variables.
