This is a really relevant question and I would like to extend it.I am also sub-setting data based on the availability of child measures and ages. I would like to rescale the data because I am working with STATA comments that do not allow for svy.

I know that v005 are the weights usually used for weighing in DHS but I am unsure how it is constructed, and thus how I could rescale the data. What factors are used to create v005?
