The Birth History (BH) dataset contains one record for every live birth reported by interviewed women aged 15-49 years. The file includes information on birth dates, sex of the child, survival status, age at death for deceased children, birth order, multiple births, and relevant identification and weighting variables. The dataset is used primarily for the estimation of fertility and childhood mortality indicators and can be linked to the women's questionnaire data through common identification variables.
