Hello,

I am seeing that my STATA output does not match the Kenya 2010 DHS tables (most are off 1-4%). For example:

Percent of youth ages 20-24 who control their own cash earnings:
DHS: Females (35.2%); Males (47.9%)
STATA: Female (34.36%); Males (50%).

STATA code used:
use v005 v012 v013 v101 v102 v106 v149 v155 v190 v212 v313 v384a v384b v384c v501 v502 v511 v613 v714 v717 v731 v739 v763a v463z using "/Users/malayaka/Desktop/MWIR61FL.DTA
generate wgt = v005/1000000

The DHS website also indicated "tab var [iweight=wgt]" as part of the STATA code, but that gives me an error message stating that the variable is not found.

Am I missing something? Why am I getting different percentages when I crosstab my variables?

Please help!

Thank you in advance.
