Calculating individual weights based on household weights

[moahmammad slm]

In a household income and expenditure dataset, the data are recorded at the individual level, but only household weights are provided. Since the dataset also contains social information (e.g., marital status), I want to conduct an analysis on the social aspects—for example, examining trends in divorced women.

The problem is that individual weights are not provided, only household weights.

Is there a recommended way to convert household weights into individual weights so that I can assign a weight to each individual for analysis?

I think the standard approach is weight / household size. Look at the literature on divorce using that data.
