Description

Definition
CAMELYN indicates whether the household owned camels. The complementary variable CAMELNUM reports the number of camels owned by household.

The information in CAMELYN is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
