Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
Very few data providers construct a different weight for each member of the household. If an individual weight exists in the original dataset, we do report it here (even though it turns out to be the same for all household members in most cases), otherwise we assign the household weight to all household members.
All statistical analysis performed should use the appropriate weight.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The expansion factor, as defined in the raw data, is equal to the values of the individuals' weights multiplied by 1000.
