hello,

I am using the household members recode by pooling the surveys conducted in different periods. And in this case i have to de-normalilize the weight by using the following procedure:

HV005*=HV005x(total number of residential households in the country at the time of the survey)/(total number of households interviewed in the survey)


Unlike, the population of female 15 -49 data that can be obtained from UN, i do not know how to get data on "total number of residential households in the country at the time of the survey".

any help please...

Best,
