For Thailand, a special program was written to match currently married women with their husbands. In 1970 93 percent of eligible women were matched and in 1980 95 percent were matched. Only those women with matched husbands are included. There are eight categories of husband's occupations. The first category, Farmer-Rice was, for 1980, based on the following combination of occupational, industry, and employment status variables: the husband was employed in agriculture (occupational codes 401 through 410) in the rice industry (industry code 01) and an own-account worker (employment status code 2). For 1970 an occupational code (41) and industry code (00) was used to identify Rice Farmers. The Employer in Non-agricultural Occupations is based on the employment status variable. All other categories are based on occupational codes and are straightforward, it should be noted that the category 'Production' includes all workers in production, craft, transport and related work. The occupational categories are based on information about the principal occupation of the husband in the year prior to the census. Categories include: farmers-rice, other agricultural, production, sales/service, clerical, employers-non-agricultural, prof/admin, and other.
