Description

Definition
YAKYN indicates whether household owned any yaks.

The complementary variable YAKNUM reports the number of yaks owned by the household.

The information in YAKYN is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors (coded "2") using:

RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis
HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis
RESIDENTMN when men are the unit of analysis.
