How does it handle survey weights?

It creates weight-aware wrappers around pandas objects, ensuring that operations like .mean(), .median(), and .sum() automatically account for the weights provided in the dataset.

MicroDF is a Python library that provides weighted pandas DataFrames and Series specifically designed for analyzing survey microdata such as income and household surveys.

How do I calculate inequality metrics using this skill?

You can use built-in methods like .gini() or .top_x_pct_share() on weighted income data directly within a MicroDataFrame or MicroSeries.

Is this skill only for PolicyEngine developers?

While optimized for the PolicyEngine ecosystem, it is highly useful for any analyst working with weighted survey data for poverty, inequality, or social policy research.
