Dear User,
A response from senior sampler, Dr. Ruilin Ren:
Quote:

It is not a good idea to use the DHS data for estimating population changes either at the regional level or at the national level. The DHS survey is not designed for such kind of comparison. The DHS weights are relative weights so it is not valid for estimating population totals, nor for population difference.

Please feel free to post again if you have additional questions.
Thank you!
