Coverage:

Population base: Currently married women (or men) age 15-49 (IR file, MR file)

Time period: 12 months preceding the survey

 

Numerators:

1)      Number of currently married women (or men) age 15-49 who were employed at any time in the past 12 months (women: v502 = 1 & v731 in 1:3; men: mv502 = 1 & mv731 in 1:3)

2)      Number of currently married women (or men) age 15-49 who were employed at any time in the past 12 months (women: v502 = 1 & v731 in 1:3; men: mv502 = 1 & mv731 in 1:3) distributed by type of earnings:

a)       cash only (women: v741 = 1; men: mv741 = 1)

b)      cash and in-kind (women: v741 = 2; men: mv741 = 2)

c)       in-kind only (women: v741 = 3; men: mv741 = 3)

d)      not paid (women: v741 = 0; men: mv741 = 0)

e)      missing (women: v741 = 9; men: mv741 = 9)

 

Denominators:

a)       Number of currently married women (or men) age 15-49 (women: v502 = 1; men: mv502 = 1)

b)      Number of currently married women (or men) age 15-49 employed in the past 12 months (women: v502 = 1 & v731 in 1:3; men: mv502 = 1 & mv731 in 1:3)
