Hello,
I am trying to reproduce a number from the final report/stat compiler:
The percent of women 20-24 who gave birth before the age of 18. The report says 35.7%
I keep getting a higher number, and wonder if I am not taking into account unmarried women.

* Set up svy paramaters
gen wt=v005/1000000
svyset v021 [pw=wt], strata(v023)

gen agefb= (v211-v011)/12

gen fbu18 = 1 if agefb<18
replace fbu18=0 if agefb>=18

* All women factor
gen aw = awfactt/100
* Check the denominator
tab fbu18 [iw=aw*wt]

Alternatively, I tried bringing nonmarried women in from the household roster, but still found a percentage over 40%. Can you help point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Kristin
