The wealth index is commonly used in reports and analysis based on datasets from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), and WFP surveys (mainly CFSVAs1 and EFSAs), and is used to rank households into quintiles. The value of using the wealth The data used to construct a wealth index have a far stronger impact on the final wealth index than the method used to weight the items. Researchers planning data collection for a wealth index are therefore encouraged to carefully consider the data they collect rather than simply collecting data on the set of assets in DHS questionnaires. Stata code to produce Demographic and Health Survey Indicators - DHSProgram/DHS-Indicators-Stata (mainly before 2000) do not have a wealth index and the files would need to be merged with a WI file to obtain the wealth index. For anthropometry indicators, surveys before roughly 2006 would need to be merged with a HW file to obtain the WHO Index membership is limited to publicly-traded companies managed by individuals with substantial personal wealth. This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) contain a “wealth” of information on the health and demographic conditions of national populations in less developed countries. With the development of the DHS Wealth Index, a new avenue of analysis has

Could someone tell me what the corresponding stata syntax would look like? Friedrich On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 1:03 AM, Wei Yee
The wealth index allows researchers to identify how much household economic status affects health outcomes by using both bivariate and more sophisticated multivariate methods. For example, in a study of nine countries, The DHS Program researchers have been able to show that economic status is not an important risk factor for domestic violence.
to show that the asset index predicts enrollments as accurately as expenditures, or more so, we separate papers we use the asset index to examine wealth and gender gaps in Stata Statistical Software: Release 6.0. College. Station, TX:
Hi all, I am trying to compute a wealth index score and then categorized them into quintiles. I have never done PCA or factor analysis before and have spent the past few days reading up but I think I am still a little confused.

I need to arrive at a final wealth index score for my analysis using PCA in stata. I am working with the Demographic and Health Survey dataset which provides only an asset-based wealth index for measuring socio-economic welfare.

The International Wealth Index (IWI) is the first comparable asset based wealth index covering the complete developing world. It is based on data for over 2.1 million households in 97 low and middle income countries.
