Thanks for your response,
we calculated de-normalized weight for each country.
After denormalization and using the denormalized weights we got a total sample of 9,954329 cases, however our total sample of 25,438 (unweight count). using denomalized size, all univariate comparisons were significant.
If we recalculate this with denomalized weight as below formula;
[(denormalized weights*total number of women(15-49) interviewed in the survey)/total number of women (15-49)at the time of survey].
This makes each survey in total have the same weight in cross-country regressions and univariate comparisons will be better.
It is the best, isn't it?
Is it possible to use this approach for univariate comparison?
Thank you for your collaboration
