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
