Description
INSHHANYGOVEMP indicates whether any member of the household is covered by health insurance through an employees' state insurance scheme, a government-run social security and health insurance plan for workers.
The information in INSHHANYGOVEMP is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
