In the 2 datasets (1992-93 and 1998-99), I wanted to weight the data to make it nationally representative. I am using kids data (as described earlier) and I have also merged the village files to get information on the Anganwadi, schools, etc.
I am unsure as to which weights I should use to weight the data in both years?

There is a variables V005, which is the relevant sample weight to be used here I think?
But do I also have to use the village weights for all the village variables?
I am unclear as to which set of variables I have to apply the sample weights and village weights?

Can you please clarify?

Many thanks
