Questionnaire Dwelling Unit-Level and Person Pair-Level Sampling ...

within the relevant age range. If the child's parents were not identified as living with
him or her in the household, the count was set to 0.
2. If the respondent had children within the relevant age range, then the count was of the
respondent's children within that range. If the respondent also had older children who
had children of their own within the relevant age range, then the count was of the
respondent's children and grandchildren within the relevant age range.
3. If the age of the respondent was outside the relevant age range but the respondent had
parents living with them in the household and had siblings within the relevant age
range, then the count was of the number of the respondent's siblings.
4. If the respondent had grandchildren within the relevant age range and the respondent
also had children older than 25 or children-in-law living with them, then the count
was the number of the respondent's grandchildren. (The assumption was that the
respondent's children or children-in-law were the parents of the respondent's
grandchildren. The likelihood of this not being the case was small. In the case where
a pair was selected, this was resolved by looking at the count of the other pair
member.)
6.4.1.1.3 Obtaining Counts for Parent-Focus Parent-Child Domains: Other Pairs and
Single Respondents
For other pairs and single respondents, the following conditions were required to
determine the household count for the number of parents of children in the household:
1. If the age of the respondent was within the relevant age range, then the count was of
the number of the respondent's parents (which could be 0).
2. If the age of the respondent was outside the relevant age range but the respondent had
siblings within the relevant age range, then the count was of the number of the
respondent's parents (again, this could be 0).
3. If the respondent had children within the relevant age range, then the parent-focus
counts were determined in the same way as the child-focus multiplicity counts: The
count was of the self plus the spouse or live-in partner. If the respondent also had
older children (older than 25 and living with him or her) who had children of their
own (identified as grandchildren) within the relevant age range, then the count was at
least 2. If the respondent had a spouse or live-in partner in the household, the count
was incremented by 1, and if a child-in-law was in the household, the count also was
incremented by 1. (Note that, under these scenarios, the number of parents could
range between two and four.)
4. If the respondent had grandchildren within the relevant age range but no children in
that range, and the respondent had a child older than 25 or a child-in-law living with
them, then the count was 2 if both the child older than 25 and the child-in-law were
living in the household, 1 if not.
