WANTCHWHEN

Desired waiting time before birth of a/another child

Return to Unmet need and desire for last birth variables list

Description

WANTCHWHEN reports how long a woman who has not undergone sterilization, and who wants to have a/another child, would like to wait before a future birth.

This variable uses composite coding to indicate desired waiting time, as well as the unit in which the time was reported (months or years). The first digit of the variable signifies unit (1= months, 2= years) and the next two digits report number of months or years. Therefore, numbers in the 100s mean desired waiting time was indicated in months, and numbers in the 200s mean desired waiting time was indicated in years. For example, 101 means "1 month" and 120 means “20 months”. Similarly, 201 means "1 year" and 220 means “20 years".

To separately obtain the unit and the number, users can utilize the variables WANTCHWHENUNIT and WANTCHWHENNUM, from which this variable was constructed.

Universes differ across samples, principally with respect to marital status. Some samples restrict the question to ever-married women, and other samples to women who were currently married or in a union.

Syria 2006 asked the question only of women who had not given birth within the last two years.
