Description

THRESHER indicates whether the household had a thresher, a farm machine for separating seeds or grain from husks and straw.

The information in THRESHER 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
