GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The household weight can correct just for sample bias, or also for non-sampling errors (such as response bias and adjustment to population distribution). In many cases, the weight is a population weight, which means that the weight will inflate the result to reflect the total population.
We strongly recommend that all statistical analysis be performed using the data weights

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Three weight variables were provided in the raw data; one reported as the unadjusted HH weight, another is the adjusted HH weight and the third is the adjusted weight for the bottom 25% HHs.
The description of different weight variables is available in the technical appendix published among the survey external resources.
All 3 weight variables are made available is the harmonized data file.
