The Economic Circumstances of Old People
The comparison of occupational mortality rates
The latest study by the Registrar General of Occupational Mortality in England and Wales raises once again the problem of the choice of a suitable function for comparing the mortality experience of different groups within a population. Certain tests are proposed which should be satisfied by any acceptable index, and it is shown that the C.M.F. satisfies these tests while the S.M.R. does not. We have thus reached a somewhat curious position in thi…

Note on Mr. Schneider's analysis
Students of demography, and indeed all who are concerned with the study of social phenomena on the local rather than the national scale, will be grateful to Mr. Schneider for his careful and interesting account of the comparison made by the General Register Office between the estimated and enumerated populations at Census Date, 1951. But the application of his results to my problem is complicated by the intrusion of additional terms. My problem w…

Precision in population estimates
Given the Registrar General's estimate of the home population of a local government administrative area in England and Wales, is it possible to construct a 95 per cent. confidence interval for the true value? The author has attempted to provide an approximate answer to this question by considering estimates made before and after the 1951 census, together with such data as are available to improve the comparability of the estimates. The analysis s…
Estimating by sample the size and age-sex structure of a population
The author describes a sample survey of the population of the County Borough of Dudley carried out by the Department of Social Science of the University of Liverpool. In the examination of the data an empirical regression is obtained which can be used to estimate the size of sample that would be needed to determine the age-sex structure of a population with a given degree of precision. The data are further used to assess the relative efficiency o…
