A First Glance at the Pakistan Age Distribution
What follows is not only a summary of first impressions, but it is also limited to Pakistan as a whole, i.e., inter-regional differentials are not inves¬tigated. Furthermore, the following comments are limited to the youngest ages. In particular, no discussion is offered of the age distribution at the oldest ages. In any case the latter is partly a freak of the peculiar assumption on which it is drawn, namely, that nobody in Pakistan lives beyond…
First Release from the Second Population Census of Pakistan, 1961
The field enumeration for the purposes of the SecondPopulation Census of Pakistan was completed at dawn of February 1, 1961.The first Bulletin with provisional results is dated 27 days later1. Theless than five weeks in the case of Pakistan compare with about fourweeks in the case of the latest Census of India 2, and just over sixweeks in the case of United Kingdom3. Such figures are seldom directlycomparable, but the least that can be said is th…
Population Control (Review Article)
Discussions about the role of small enterprise in economicdevelopment tend to remain inconclusive partly because of the difficultyof assessing the relative importance of economic and non-economicobjectives and partly because of the dearth of factual information onwhich to base an economic calculus. It is probably true, moreover, that,because of a lack of general agreement as to the economic case for oragainst small enterprise, non-economic consid…

popular format. In Stacking the Deck the authors document social class discrimination in Ontario schooling, and present the analysis in a non-academic, easily understood way. This is the sort of book that teachers without any background in sociology or administration could read. However, I wonder if perhaps a little hasn't been lost in the process. The references are not recent, the theorizing is not strong, and the discussion of alternatives pur…

Life cycle effects on homeownership in Canada
This paper investigates the relationship between life‐cycle stages and homeownership, using data from the 1984 Canadian Fertility Survey (CFS) of women in the age‐group 18 to 35. Logistic regression analysis is used to identify the importance of husband's age, family income, work experience, nativity, and place of residence in explaining variation in the probability of homeownership. The results confirm earlier findings regarding the importance o…
Immigrant Fertility: An Examination of Social Characteristics and Assimilation
This study compares the fertility patterns of foreign-born and native-born women in Canada and examines whether [the] same set of social characteristics accounts for differential fertility among both the groups. The study also assesses the importance of social characteristics and assimilation on immigrant fertility behavior. Two generations of currently married/cohabiting women with spouse present are analyzed using multiple regressions. The resu…

Age at first birth and lifetime fertility
Among a national sample of Canadian women in the Canadian National Fertility Survey of 1984, the excess cumulative fertility of those who started their families early over others has steadily decreased. A difference of approximately two births between early and late starters among older women is reduced to approximately half a child among the younger women. Except for those who start childbearing after age 25, there is little evidence of attempts…

A Hazard Model Analysis of the Covariates of Marriage Dissolution in Canada
An examination of the marriage histories in the Canadian Fertility Survey confirm the fact that marriage dissolutions have been increasing rapidly in recent years. Cohort analyses by age and by year of marriage enable 1 to see that this is not just a timing effect and that the probabilities of dissolution in the 1st 10 years of marriage have indeed gone up especially among the young and the more recently married cohorts. Canadian rates are somewh…

Estimates of population size and growth from the 1952-54 and 1961 censuses of the Kingdom of Nepal
The Census of Nepal conducted in 1961 conforms to the generally accepted requirements for a national census. Some doubt could be raised about the previous census as part of the country was enumerated in 1952 and part in 1954. More serious doubts still could be entertained about earlier censuses, including their very existence, though there are persistent rumours that they were carried out every ten years or so since about the middle of the previo…

Socio-cultural variations in the applicability of the economic model of fertility
In the economic model of fertility childbearing is regarded as a type of utility maximization in which preferences for children are balanced against available resources and incurred costs. This model is here tested on data from a fertility survey taken in the city of Edmonton, Alberta. It is applied separately to eight ethnic groups in order to test for variations in its applicability. It is found to receive some support in three groups, but to b…
Development in Dual System Estimation of Population Size and Growth
La population du Soudan au XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle
A brief historical review surveys the ethnic composition of the populations of the Sudan, but the rarity and unreliability of the sources must be underlined. Given an original population of unknown size, a probably weak growth rate seems to lead to a peak of eight or nine million souls between 1820 and 1880. The first demographic estimates, slightly more reliable than the preceding, date from 1882, the beginning of a religious and nationalist rev…

Analysis of Ethnic Fertility Differentials through the Consideration of Assimilation
This article reviews the literature on ethnic differences in fertility and presents some pertinent data from a fertility survey in Edmonton Canada. These data allow consideration of ethnic differentials while controlling for assimilation. The analysis concentrates on the particularized ideology hypothesis tested by focusing on the less assimilated members of given ethnic groups. Since the less assimilated could be said to identify more strongly w…
Data Collection in Developing Countries
Reviewed in the context of the issues discussed in this Bulletin, this book is very useful in the emphasis it gives to the practical problems of collecting data in sample surveys but weak in that it is far too uncritical of survey techniques vis-à-vis other forms of data collection with respect to cost effectiveness issues.During the Rapid Rural Appraisal Conference, several papers (Carruthers 1979, ElIman 1979, Fallon 1979 and Moore 1979) pointe…
