Description
Definition
RELIGIONMN (MV130) reports the man's religion. While the categories and codes for the religion variable in the original DHS files are country-specific, IPUMS-DHS uses a 4-digit composite coding system to fit these diverse categories into a single variable without losing information. See Comparability.
