Hi thank you so much for the response,

Also, big THANKS for updating the education estimates for Kenya DHS 2022. I have a few very very basic questions:

(a) I understand that weighting is done to make the sample size representative of the population. However, for schooling data where we use household weight, let's say i type: tab schecyr_i [iweight =hhweight] - where schecyr_i is school enrollment and hhweight is v005/1000000 - since we use hhweight, does it mean that we are assuming that all members of the household are in school?

(b) If I want to compare counties based on school enrollment numbers - since we are making a comparison here - is it better to weight the percentage of children enrolled or the absolute numbers? SO let's say I want to look at the top 10 counties with the lowest school enrollment

Best
