We have calculated two new sets of weights applicable to the General Household Survey (GHS) from 1979 to 2007. One of these is for use with any general analysis of GHS topics and the second is designed for analyses of data collected in the Family Information section. The methods used follow closely those employed by ONS from 1996 onwards. The performance of the weights is assessed in estimating the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) from 1971-2007, an aggregate measure of fertility for which reliable figures are available at national level from vital registration statistics. Our weights improve the GHS estimates, reducing bias both in the TFR and in age-specific fertility rates.
我们计算了两组适用于1979年至2007年综合住户调查（GHS）的新权重。其中一组用于对GHS主题进行任何一般性分析，另一组则专为分析家庭信息部分收集的数据而设计。所采用的方法与国家统计局自1996年起采用的方法密切相关。通过估算1971年至2007年的总和生育率（TFR）来评估权重的表现，总和生育率是生育率的一个综合指标，国家层面可从人口动态登记统计数据中获取可靠数字。我们的权重改进了GHS的估计结果，减少了TFR以及特定年龄生育率中的偏差。
