Description
NMOTHERS is a constructed variable (using MOMLOC) that counts the number of women within each dwelling unit who are identified as residing with their children. For persons in households that are not group quarters, NMOTHERS indicates the number of identified mothers in the household; for persons in group quarters, NMOTHERS indicates the number of identified mothers in any group of related individuals.
Comparability
The comparability of this variable is affected by variations in the information available for identifying mothers; see MOMRULE and "Family Interrelationships."
No constructed family interrelationship variables are available for Canadian censuses of 1852, 1871, and 1881, and the Mecklenburg-Schwerin census of 1819, which contain no information on relationship to household head.
