I tried to readjust the weights of the KR file for different countries and waves. I made the adjustments according to the attachment, but I also considered the year differently, that is, calculated survey_totwt for each year in a single survey separately, because some KR was conducted in the middle of a year (2015-2016, etc.). Then using survey_totwt for that year, as well as all_survey_totwt, the number of people aged 15-49 in the country for that year (target), and the total population of the country (total_target), I calculated the adjustment factor (agj_factor). I then calculated the new weights in the merged file and asked if this was correct
