2.2 Sampling Weights for
Households
Household sampling weights were obtained from multiplication of inverse of selection
probabilities at various sampling stages. In this case we had four sampling stages.
Household sampling weights were thus obtained by the formulae mentioned below.

15 – 65 years-old

Probability (Household) -1
Once the sample has been selected, one respondent aged 15 – 65 was selected per
household by using Kish selection grid. With this method, all eligible individuals (aged 15
– 65) in a household had an equal chance of selection.
One eligible respondent per household was selected. , Post-stratification was done
under second level sub-strata by gender and age groups (15 – 24 years, 25 – 34 years, 35
– 44 years, 45 – 54 years and 55 – 65 years) to get reliable estimates for each age group by
gender (demographic group)considering differences in their behaviors.
The “Household Sampling Weights” were basis for calculation of sampling weights
for target household members of aged 15 – 65 years old. First, we estimated total
population of each gender by age group for each strata up to second level sub strata
using household sampling weights. Second, we counted number of respondents we
sampled for the survey at that level.
Sampling Weights for household members aged 15 – 65 years old can be obtained by
formulae mentioned below.
