GGS2020_Wave1_Belarus_V.1.0.

Variables are ordered according to the sections of the GGS questionnaire used for the GGP 2020 data collection (the second round of GGP data collection). The sections are: Respondent; Partnerships; Household composition, organization and partnership quality; Parents and Parental Home; Network delineation and support; Fertility; Health and Well-Being; Respondents' Activity and Income; Partners' Activity and Income; Household Possessions, Income and Transfers; Value Orientations and Attitudes; Interviewer Observations; Interviewer Report.

The variables begin with a letter designating the wave of data collection ("a" for the first wave likewise "b" for the second wave). We have attempted to keep the names of variables the same across the waves. However, variable names of the GGP 2020 data collection do not correspond to those of the previous round of GGP: variables having the same names may be linked to different questions.

Although we encourage the countries to strictly follow the GGS Questionnaire, countries might implement a question that differs to a considerable extent from the GGS Questionnaire. In this case either we add country specific response values, or we introduce a country specific variable. Country specific values are added when the question follows the model questionnaire, but the answers are not at all or partly compatible.They are at least 4 digits long (F4 format) and begin with the country code: e.g., Australia 2401. Hence, the country code, as an example, for Australia is 24. A country specific variable is introduced when the question differs from the model questionnaire albeit measuring the same concept. This kind of variables is identified with a suffix given by the country code plus a number, e.g., Australia a119_2401.
