Description
MICROWAVE indicates whether the household has a microwave oven.
The information in MICROWAVE is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
