Hello,

Yes this is another method. It works better for when you you expect the population sizes to be very different from one survey to the next. I have asked Trevor where he received the population estimates and this was his response:

When I pool and re-weight the data, I use population estimates from World Population Prospects. (https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/Population/). I pick "Population by broad age groups female", which includes a column for 15-49 (column AQ), and find the Ethiopia estimates for the relevant years. For the 2019 survey I would use the 2020 estimate which is 28,513 (thousand, i.e. 28.5 million).

Thank you.
Best,
Shireen Assaf
