Household headship
Definition
Percentage of private households with a female head of household.
Method of Calculation
Data source specific method of calculation:
IPUMS:
The number of private households with a female head of household divided by the total number of private households. Household heads are identified using the IPUMS RELATE variable which corresponds to the census question that asks respondents their relationship to the head of the household. The definition of head of household varies across censuses, but typically refers to the person who is recognized as the head of the household by the other members of the household. For this indicator, household heads are those classified as such in the RELATE variable. Females are those classified as such in the SEX variable. This indicator is calculated for private households only. Meaningful relationship-to-head information is not available for group quarters such as institutions and other collective dwellings; in most samples, all persons in group quarters are classified as non-relative or unknown in RELATE. For this reason, group quarters are excluded from both numerator and denominator of this indicator. Group quarters are identified using the IPUMS GQ variable: Link.
