Description

I am interested in conducting 3 analyses:
1) an analysis that compares all UK ethnic respondents (both from the EMBS and within GPS) compared to non-minority white respondents in the GPS
2) same as above, but comparing each of the 5 ethnic groups in the UK (both from the EMBS and within GPS) compared to non-minority white respondents in the GPS
3) comparing across each of the 5 ethnic groups from the EMBS only

In the working paper regarding weighting strategy for the study (pages 9-10), you mention providing many different weights. I was wondering if you could tell me which weighting variables I could use for my analysis above? In other words, I'm unsure of the weights to use in analyzing:
1) The EMBS plus ethnic minority individuals in the UKHLS-GPS in areas of low ethnic minority density, i.e. the areas excluded from the boost sample (to represent the total UK ethnic minority population);
2) Each of the five main ethnic groups separately from the combined EMBS plus ethnic minority individuals in the UKHLS-GPS
3) Each of the five main ethnic groups separately from the EMBS

at both a) the individual level and b) household level?

Many thanks for your assistance.
