EBF, MDD, and MMF served as the primary dependent variables of interest as prior literature suggests changes in women's income and time, stemming from women's employment, may affect these indicators of IYCF. These indicators were created using data from the 24-hour recall of foods/food groups available in DHS. EBF, a binary variable, was defined as the proportion of infants 0 to 5 months of age who were fed exclusively with breast milk. MDD, a binary variable, was defined as proportion of children 6 to 23 months of age who received foods from 4 or more of the following 7 food groups: grains, roots and tubers; legumes and nuts; dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese); flesh foods (meat, fish, poultry and liver/organ meats); eggs; vitamin-A rich fruits and vegetables; and other fruits and vegetables. MMF, a binary variable, was defined as the proportion of breastfed and non-breastfed children 6 to 23 months of age who receive solid, semi-solid, or soft foods the minimum number of times or more. For breastfed children, the minimum number of times varies with age (2 times if 6 to 8 months and 3 times if 9 to 23 months). Non-breastfed children ages 6 to 23 months must be fed 4 or more times per day to meet the MMF indicator.
