Comparability
Along with universe differences and slight differences in question wording, WKHUSPAY (V706) varies across samples in the number of response categories. To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS gives a common first digit of "1" to the responses "earns no wage or salary" and "is self-employed," while the second digit distinguishes between these categories when both are available.
Comparability - Standard DHS
WKHUSPAY (V706) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase I only.
Comparability — Kenya [top]
The 1989 Kenya survey first asks, "Does he work for someone else or for himself?" If the respondent reported her partner worked for someone else, she was then asked, "Does (did) he earn a regular wage or salary?"
