st: svy: total command

[Rebecca Pietrelli <rebecca.pietrelli@gmail.com>]

Dear all,

I am using the Stata command svy: total, in order to estimate the
total number of migrants from Uganda, residing within or outside
Uganda, who remit money to their origin family.


The specific command I am using is:

. tab q518_1, gen(dremit)

(the answer to the question 5.18_1 is a label variable: yes if the
migrant remits and no otherwhise)

. svy, over(internal): total dremit1

(internal = 1 if the migrant has migrated within Uganda and 0 otherwhise).


Is this procedure correct?
Or should I use total command directly on label variable q518_1?

thank you
Rebecca
