Hello,

Table 4.2 of the Zambia 2007 Final report does not have mean number of children ever born by the 5-yr age groups. However the code below can be used to match the remaining background variables.

use ZMIR51FL.dta, clear

gen wt= v005/1000000

* overall mean of 6.5 for women 40-49 as in the Table
mean v201 if v012>39 [iw=wt]

* by wealth categories, for other categories just change v190 to the other variable names (i.e. v025, v106, v024)
mean v201 if v012>39 [iw=wt], over(v190)

* not in the table but mean by 5-yr age groups
mean v201 [iw=wt], over(v013)

Thank you,

Best,
