Re: st: svyset with raked weights

Fernando-
Please provide more information.

1. Name of the stratum variable
2. Purpose(s) of the survey (e.g. to estimate descriptive statistics; to fit regression models; to test hypotheses).
3. Names of the primary sampling unit (unit selected at first stage) and, if available, units selected at subsequent stages.
4. Whether any of the primary sampling units were selected with certainty-i.e. not by random numbers. In the study documentation, these might also be called "self-representing" units.

I have a question on setting the correct design for a multi-stage stratified design. It is an official household survey, were the strata are formed by using (known) population census data, and only one individual is randomly selected among the (number known) eligible individuals (employees) in each household. The dataset also includes raked weights (they call it post-stratification weights), for population totals of four relevant variables (age and sex -6-, occupation -8-, industry -4-, province -3-).
The question is which svyset must I use with Stata in order to get correct standard errors?
Thanks in advance.
