Description

For household members under age 5 who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement, HWCMOMEDUCLVLCS (HC68) reports the highest level of school their mothers attended, as included in the final report. Educational levels specified in DHS final reports reflect country-specific educational systems and include more detailed levels than the broad categories of no education, primary, secondary, and higher schooling.

The related variable HWCMOMEDUCLVL (HC61) reports the highest level of school their mothers attended, as indicated in the women's questionnaire and using broad general categories only (e.g., primary, secondary, higher education).

Comparability

Along with universe differences, HWCMOMEDUCLVLCS (HC68) varies across countries in the specific response categories, due to differences in countries' school systems. To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding, with the first digit indicating broad categories of education (no education, less than secondary, secondary or higher, and other). The second, third, and fourth digits provide additional details, when this information is available.

Comparability - Standard DHS

HWCMOMEDUCLVLCS (HC68) is included in Phase V forward of the standard DHS recode.
