Dear,
thank you.
But previously one of you suggested me to do the following on pooled DHS rounds:
That is re-weighting by the population base for each survey year.

*e.g dhs 2000,
gen wgt=v005/1000000
gen weight=(wgt*24949)/15683

The same code for all other surveys and I would use 'weight' for all tabulation in the following wave
tab x [iw=weight] instead of tab x [iw=wgt]

This is why I ask for the total female population base for the Ethiopian DHS /2019/

Shouldn't I take into account differences in population across survey rounds when I play with a pooled sample?

Kind regards
ZF
