Use this option if women are the unit of analysis. Each record will be a woman of childbearing age.
Childbearing age is typically defined as ages 15-49. Please consult variable universes and sample descriptions for the exact information for a given sample.
Most variables available under this option relate to women themselves, but some relate to the woman's latest birth (youngest child) or her household.
Use this option if children under age 5 are the unit of analysis.
Most commonly, child records relate to children under age 5. Please consult variable universes and sample descriptions for the exact information for a given sample.
Data on children are collected through questions to mothers or guardians in the household. Multiple children can have the same mother or guardian. The child does not have to be the biological child of the mother.
Use this option if children age 5 to 17 are the unit of analysis.
Most commonly, one child age 5-17 per household is randomly selected. Please consult variable universes and sample descriptions for the exact information for a given sample. Some samples from the Household unit of analysis in early rounds report on comparable variables.
Except the Foundational Learning module, data on children are collected through questions to mothers or guardians. The child does not have to be the biological child of the mother.
Use this option if births (regardless of current age) are the unit of analysis.
Birth records relate to all births to women of childbearing age.
Some variables under this option relate to the characteristics of the births themselves (such as sex and date of birth). Data on births are collected through questions to mothers. Multiple births can have the same mother.
Use this option if men are the unit of analysis.
Each record will be an adult non-elderly man, from the all households or randomly selected households included in MICS samples.
Typically, the age of men is 15-49, but exact age ranges vary across samples. Please consult variable universes and sample descriptions for the exact information for a given sample.
Use this option if household members (of any age and sex) are the unit of analysis.
Household member records relate to all persons, including both usual residents and visitors, recorded on the listing of household members during the completion of the household survey form. In the sampling process, a random selection of households was drawn from a list of all households included in a chosen primary sampling unit (such as an enumeration areafrom the most recent national census). Household members are all persons included in each such randomly selected household.
Most variables under this option relate to the characteristics of the household members themselves (such as their age and relationship to the household head). Other variables provide information on the characteristics of the dwelling unit.
Use this option if household is the unit of analysis.
Household records relate to the household randomly selected drawn from a list of all households in a chosen primary sampling unit (such as an enumeration area from the most recent national census).
This record includes information about the household itself, the head of household, or other topics that would represent single members of the household (such as a single randomly selected child within the household).
