Sampling
The universe which the AMPS sample is drawn comprises adults aged 15 years or older in South Africa. A multistage, area stratified, quasi-probability design was employed on a full annual sample. Using population estimates, the sample is then grossed up to the total population so that findings can be looked at in terms of both percentage and thousands of people. The data were collected by personal, in-home interviews. In the case of each racial group, certain areas were excluded from consideration, as containing no persons or a negligible number of persons in a given group.
The AMPS dataset has the following weight variables:
- Adult Population Weights – “pwgt”.
- Household Weights (not to be used with personal demographics) – “hhwgt”.
- Household Decision Maker Weights - to be used with personal demographics. These must be used for personal analyses on household items – only on a filtered of male heads of household and female housewives – “hhdwgt”.
- Purchaser Weights – These must be used for the household products only on a filtered base of those wholly or partly responsible for household purchases – “hhpwgt”.
