<ul></ul><p>Hi Charlie,</p>
<p>This question is only asked of those who report NO BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN in the household. Given that children are more likely to live with their mothers, it is likely that the % of women who say yes to this question is lower than the % of men who say yes. Also, after wave 1 it is only asked of new entrants and rising 16s. Check the UNIVERSE below LPRNT in the questinniare - where the filtering is specified. Then those who say they have any children in the household (NNATCH>0) and those who say they ever had any children although they don't have any children in the household (LPRNT=1) are asked about the number of these children (LNRPNT). To find out the total number of natural children for a person you will need to use both C_NNATCH and C_LNPRNT. But in wave 3 this will not be asked of those who have already been interviewed in waves 1 or 2. You will need to pick up this information from the first two waves for these people.</p>
<p>Using these two variables for wave 1, you will find that the proportion of women who report ever having a child is 72% while for men the number is 62%.</p>
