var_qstn_ivuinstr

Write the relationship of each person to the head of household using the codes given at the bottom of the questionnaire. For in-laws, write the letter “A” in capital letters after the code number. Thus, while son will have the code 3, son in-law will have the code 3A.

Imputation and derivation

Derivation

This variable is obtained by destringing qh04. For in-laws, "A" is recoded as "01"-- e.g. son in-law is 301, where it is 3A in qh04.
