Description

For women married to or living with a man who had more than one wife/partner, WIFERANK (V506) reports the woman's rank among her husband's/partner's wives/partners.

Comparability — Index

GENERAL
 Burundi

Comparability

Along with universe differences, the comparability of WIFERANK (V506) may be limited by changes in who counted as a "wife" in the complementary and preceding variable WIFENUM. Some surveys asked only about the number of "wives"; other surveys included "women lived with as if married" along with "wives" when determining whether the respondent was her husband/partner's only wife. See the Comparability section of WIFENUM for further detail.

The question wording for WIFERANK itself ("Are you the first, second ... wife?) was consistent across most samples.

Comparability - Standard DHS

WIFERANK (V506) is included in all phases of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Comparability — Burundi [top]

The 1987 Burundi sample asks for the respondent's rank at the time of her first marriage or cohabitation, rather than at the time of the survey. The responses in this sample are top-coded at 7.

The 2010 and 2016 Burundi samples do not share Burundi 1987's comparability problems.
