Converting household weights to individual weights [message #19017]

Hello,

We are looking to use the Household Member Recode file from the DHS as a nationally representative survey sample at the individual level for a few countries. Do you have any recommendations on how to commute the household weight to an individual weight? Alternately, would you recommend using a different dataset that already has those individual-level weights (note that the women and men surveys are not eligible for our purposes because of the frequency of sampling for those surveys)?

As a simple example, suppose all I wanted to know the proportion of the national population that was 18-25 years old. What file and weighting scheme should I use to calculate this?

Thanks in advance
