Description

DIGCAM indicates whether the household has a digital camera.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from NONDIGCAM, which indicates whether the household has a non-digital camera. Users may also be interested in VIDEOCAM, which indicates whether the household has a video camera.

Respondents were asked to report what assets the household owned in order to calculate a wealth index based on assets. This information can be found in the variables SCORE, WEALTHQ, and WEALTHT.

The question associated with this variable was included in the household questionnaire.
