Dear Sir/Madam,
For my master's thesis, I am using a few DHS datasets where only ever-married women have been sampled (i.e. Egypt: DHS 1992 and 2014, Indonesia: DHS 1991, Pakistan: DHS 1990-91 and 2012-13). I would like to know how I can calculate the percent distribution of all women age 15-49 by education level attended based on these datasets (and, if possible, how I can calculate the distribution of all women age 15-49 by education in single years). I think I have to use the all women factor, for total population (AWFACTT) and all women factor, for education (AWFACTU) in order to make these calculations, but I am not sure which steps I should take next. Could you perhaps guide me in the right direction?
Thank you very much in advance,
Kind regards,
Anne

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:
You are apparently using the IR files from these surveys. It could be easier to use the PR files. For example, if you go to the PR file for the Egypt 1992-93 survey, EGPR21FL.dta, you have sex (hv104), age in single years (hv105), level of schooling (hv106), and single years of schooling (hv108). This file includes all women, men, and children in the household sample. You can use the weight variable (hv005) to get the distributions you want. The restriction to ever-married women only affects the IR file. You could use that file, with weights v005*awfacte (awfacte, not awfactu), but that would not be as accurate or as easy as using the PR file.
