c) Don’t know/missing (women: v745c in 3,8,9; men: mv745c in 3,8,9)
2) Number of women (or men) who own land by whether the land owned has a title deed:
a) If so whether or not the woman’s (or man’s) name appears on the title deed (women: v745d = 1, 2; men: mv745d = 1, 2)
b) Does not have a title deed (women: v745d = 0; men: mv745d = 0)
c) Don’t know/missing (women: v745d in 3,8,9; men: mv745d in 3,8,9)
Denominators:
