Thank you very much for the response. That is helpful. Just to clarify, I am not attempting to produce an "estimate" for the pooled data or any nonexistent population. The only estimates I want to produce are for levels of wealth quintile among the 15-19 and 20-14 age groups separately for each survey. The pooled data will only be used for the regression analysis to determine the relationship between wealth quintile and demand satisfied for modern family planning.

One other question I had is whether there is a need to modify the the svyset code to account for clustering in countries. I am looking at multiple surveys per country, so would using the standard "svyset psu [pw=weight], strata(strata)" take this into account? Is there a way to add a country-level strata to the code?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
