Lighting Fuels and Technologies

 

Percent distribution of households and de jure population by lighting fuel or technology

 

Definition

 

1)      Percent distribution of households and de jure population by main lighting fuel or technology.

2)      Percent of households and de jure population primarily relying on clean fuels and technologies for lighting

 

Coverage:

Population base:

a)       Households (HR file)

b)      De jure household population (HR file or PR file)

Time period: Current status at time of survey

 

Numerators:

1)      Number of households and de jure population by main lighting fuel or technology type (hv262)

2)      Number of households and de jure population relying on clean fuels and technologies for lighting (hv262 in 1:5)

 

Denominators:

a)       Number of households

b)      Number of de jure population (hv012 – see Calculation)

 

Variables: HR file, PR file.

hv012

Number of de jure members (if using HR file)

hv102

Usual resident (if using PR file)

hv262

Lighting fuel or technology

 

 

Calculation

 

Percent distribution of de jure population can be calculated using the HR file and simply weighting the data by the sample weight (hv005/1000000) multiplied by the number of de jure household members (hv012). Alternatively, the PR file can be used instead, selecting the de jure members (hv102 = 1) and weighting just by the sample weight (hv005/1000000).

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Clean fuels and technologies for lighting includes electricity, solar lantern, rechargeable flashlight/torch/lantern, battery powered flashlight/torch/lantern, and biogas lamp

 

Changes over Time

 

Collection of information on lighting fuels and technologies began in DHS-8.
