Sex of Agricultural Holder/Operator |
| Definition |
The sex of each household member can be determined by his/her name or relationship to the head, but in some cases, there is a need to ask the respondent whether the person is a male or female. Some names such as Alex, Joey, or Charito, have been commonly used to refer to either a male or female person.
Sex disaggregated data is of prime importance in demographic and socio-econimic studies. Seperate data for males and females may be crucial in the analysis of many types of data. Demographers and statisticians likewise consider sex a key variable in evaluating the completeness and accuracy of census counts.
