Description

PARTNERSEX reports the sex of the woman's partner (spouse, live-in partner, regular boyfriend/partner, or fiancé).

Comparability

PARTNERSEX has no comparability problems. Most other DHS samples have implicitly assumed that the "partner" or "spouse" of a female respondent is necessarily male.

Comparability - Standard DHS

PARTNERSEX is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
