The full names and the definitions of the indicators are in appendix Table 1.

The data for Tajikistan 2012 cannot be downloaded from Demographic Health Survey dataset, so we did not include it in our analysis.

If an indicator from a survey is with partially complete data (for example, the data for Q1group are complete, yet with too many missing values for Q5 group to generate valid quintile value), we count such indicators as ‘Not available’.
