Codes and Frequencies
Description
OWNCOMBLD indicates whether any member of the household owns a commercial or industrial building, such as a shop or factory (excluding any enterprises carried on in the dwelling unit).
The information in OWNCOMBLD 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").

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, OWNCOMBLD is comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
OWNCOMBLD is a country-specific household variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Egypt [top]
The 1992 Egypt survey asks about any "Residential or commercial buildings other than the dwelling unit." The 1988 Egypt survey asks separately about "Residential buildings other than the dwelling unit" (OWNOTHERRES) and "Commercial/industrial buildings (shop, factory, etc.)." Depending on researcher preference, OWNCOMBLD and OWNOTHERRES could be combined for the Egypt 1988 survey to create a more comprehensive response category.
