Data file: bh

The BH dataset contains information collected through the Birth History module administered to eligible women aged 15–49 years in the Nepal Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (NMICS) 2024. The file provides a complete history of all live births reported by each eligible woman, including the date of birth, sex of the child, survival status, age at death (if deceased), and other birth-related characteristics. The dataset supports the estimation of fertility, childhood mortality, and maternal and child health indicators and facilitates the identification of children eligible for other survey modules.

The BH file is organized at the level of individual live births, with one record for each live-born child reported by an eligible woman.
