Household Population by Age, Sex, and Residence

 

Percent distribution of the de facto household population by different age groupings, according to sex and residence.

 

Definition

 

Percent distribution of the de facto household population by:

1)      Five-year age groups

2)      Dependency age groups (0-14, 15-64, 65+)

3)      Child and adult population (0-17, 18+)

 

Percentage of the de facto household population:

4)      That are adolescents (age 10-19)

 

According to sex and residence.

 

Coverage:

Population base: De facto household population (PR file)

Time period: Current status at time of survey

 

Numerators:

Number of de facto persons (hv103 = 1) by age groupings:

1)      Five-year age groups: 0-4, 5-9, …, 75-79, 80+ ( int(hv105/5) )

2)      Dependency age groups: 0-14, 15-64, 65+ (hv105 in 0:14, hv105 in 15:64, hv105 in 65:97)

3)      Child and adult population: 0-17, 18+ (hv105 in 0:17, hv105 in 18:97)

4)      Adolescents: 10-19 (hv105 in 10:19)

 

Denominators: Number of de facto persons (hv103 = 1)

 

Variables: PR file.

hv103

Slept last night

hv105

Age of household members

hv005

Household sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Persons with “don’t know” responses or missing information for age are included as separate categories in the percent distributions. Persons with missing information on sex are excluded from the sex specific disaggregation but included in the total for both sexes.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Percent distributions add up to 100 percent.

 

Changes over Time

 

Inclusion of dependency age groups, child and adult populations, and adolescents in the standard tabulation were introduced in DHS-7.
