Individual sampling weights and percentages

Cross Validated Asked by Seth C. on November 6, 2020

I am working with public use microdata measuring educational attainment. I want to calculate the percentage of the population older than 25. I am merely unaware of how to use my individual weights when calculating this, or if I even have to.

I am wondering if using weights is necessary, and if so, can I use them simply by using the egen percents command?
