Hello,
The sampling rate is usually smaller among men (e.g. one out of 2 eligible men).
The weights are computed to adjust for differences in sampling rate within a sample (e.g. men) -> their sum is equal to the sample size.
What I would do:
- If the sampling rate of men is half the sampling rate of women, you divide each man's weight (mv005) by 2.
- you then divide each weight by the average weight (in the full sample) to normalize them (not necessary in Stata, but necessary in other software packages).
Best,
Bruno
