Comparability

Apart from slight variation in question wording, WKEARNSMORE (V746) is largely comparable across samples. Most commonly, this variable records the woman's response to the question "Would you say that the money you earn is more than what your (husband/partner) earns, less than what he earns, or about the same?" or some slight variation.

Comparability - Standard DHS

WKEARNSMORE (V746) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase V forward.
