I am doing an anlaysis using merged data set from different countries and different survey years. I understand that i have to denormalize the weights (v005) after having gone through previous post in the forum, however, i want to be sure i am doing the right thing.

Can i de-normalize such that "the weights in each survey sum up to 1" and then multiply these weights by the population of interest in this case women aged 15-49 years at the time of survey such that each country in total gets weight equal to the population size of women aged 15-49 years at the time of survey.

Thanks.
