I've worked with the SIPP, but it's been many years. I don't remember too many details, though I believe there are some considerable complexities. But in any case, I'm sure there are weights involved.
Possibly, you would be best to use svy commands to handle them.

Hi statalist,

Have someone worked with the SIPP = U.S Survey of Income and Program
Participation, Topical Module wave 3 year 2008

I have few questions concerning the data. When you work with the SIPP, do
I have to take into account the weighting procedure when I want
to calculate indicators.

Ex: I want to calculate the nr of people and the percentage of working age
who are employed and are included in a retirement plan offered on their
job
and not through the social security.

If anyone who can provide me with their knowledge to understand the SIPP
data set, I would be more than happy.
