Variables associated with payments or receipts include two for each, the amount of the receipt or payment (here DFTHH3V), and the period in weeks which it covered (here DFTHH3W). These variables should not be used without first converting to a common time metric (e.g. dividing by the number of weeks).

Note

At Wave Four the high number of ‘Other’ responses to this set of questions led to the category ‘Paid help only’ being coded separately and given the value 4, ‘Other’ recoded to 5. This extra category was formalised into the questions at Wave 6. In Wave Two, there is only one summary question on domestic division of labour, BHUDOES, where the response categories differ.
