The other major problem that follows from this is the exclusion of married daughters who are either widowed or separated/estranged from their husbands and have returned to live with their parents. The practice of men having more than one wife either adds to the number of members in the household or disenfranchises one of the two wives. An ambiguity arises in the case of adult unmarried children and whether they should be considered separate households.

The dependency ratio (dependents per worker) is very high. The number of eligible workers per household (who may or may not be registered) under the Census definition of a household on the basis of common kitchen is an average of 3.2. The 100 days of work per rural household may not be adequate to address poverty and migration nor reverse the rural crisis. Hence, a more inclusive definition of household must be used.
