Description

For currently pregnant women, PGDESIRE reports whether the woman's pregnancy was wanted at the time they got pregnant, was wanted but at a later time, or was not wanted at all.

Users may also be interested in FPLCHDESIRE. For women who are not currently pregnant but have ever given birth, this variable indicates whether their last born child was wanted at the time they got pregnant, was wanted but at a later time, or was not wanted at all.

The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire. For maternal and newborn health questionnaires, this question was included in the female screening questionnaire.

Comparability

In Kenya 2019, PGDESIRE refers to the woman's current pregnancy if she is pregnant, or to her most recent pregnancy if she is not currently pregnant.

In Ethiopia 2020, there was a survey design change related to this variable. An additional category, whether the woman wanted to become pregnant sooner than she had, comes from a separate question from the survey. If the woman answered that she wanted her current pregnancy "then", she was later prompted whether she would have answered that she wanted this pregnancy "sooner", or given the same answer ("then"). Women who said they would have changed their answer are coded in PGDESIRE as "Wanted pregnancy sooner".

PGDESIRE in IPUMS-PMA is similar to the variable PGDESIRE in IPUMS-DHS. There may be differences in questionnaire text or the variable's universe; see the Survey Text and Universe Tab of the IPUMS-DHS variable for more information.
