Description
Definition
Based on a follow-up question to IDEALKIDMN (MV613), which collects information about the ideal number of children the man would hypothetically want to have in his whole life, IDEALBOTHMN reports how many of these children could be of either sex.
Numeric responses to IDEALGIRLSMN (MV628), IDEALBOYSMN (MV627), and IDEALBOTHMN (MV629) should sum to the total number of children in IDEALKIDMN (MV613). Non-numeric responses (such as "up to God" or simply "Other") are allowed for each of these variables.
