Atlas of World Population History
Historical Estimates of World Population: An Evaluation
A myopic view of history and underdevelopment of theory have been two shortcomings of demography, related to the pragmatism of the discipline and to demographers' predilection for precise measures. A healthy counterpoise is the current surge of interest in demographic history, where questions remote from current practical concerns invite study and exact data are scarce. Historical demography, hitherto an esoteric field of specialization, is now a…

A Long-Range View of World Population Growth
Mankind is undergoing an extraordinary ex pansion of numbers, unparalleled in history, which began in the eighteenth century and which has gathered increasing momentum since the beginning of the present century. The increase of the earth's human population during the last two hundred years has been three times greater than the cumulated growth during all the previous millennia of man's existence on the planet, and it appears likely that a still g…

The population statistics of China, A.D. 2–1953
Chinese population statistics are collated from the time of the Western Han Dynasty (A.D. 2) to 19 5 3, including statistics of population and households for provinces as well as for China as a whole. Evidence bearing on the definitions of the statistics, methods of compilation, and reliability of the figures as measures of population size and change, is summarized. An "emended series " of population totals for China proper, A.D. 2 to 1953 is pre…

Mortality Estimates from Roman Tombstone Inscriptions
The distribution of age at death, inscribed on Roman tombstones is biased by underrepresentation of children's deaths, exaggeration of ages at death beyond age forty or fifty, and probably by understatement of younger women's ages at death. The inscriptions for males dying between the ages of fiften and forty-two provide the best basis for mortality estimates. On this basis, expectation of life at birth for the urban population of the western Rom…

Adequacy of existing census statistics for basic demographic research
Present knowledge of population characteristics and trends in many parts of the world is seriously defective, when compared with the minimum needs for even the most elementary demographic analysis. The deficiencies are especially serious in the countries of Africa and Asia, and to a lesser extent in those of Latin America. Very many of the countries in these regions have had either no population census at all in recent decades, or only censuses k…

Married Women in the Labor Force
The proportion of married women working for pay has been increasing in the United States for more than half a century. This trend is related to the secular decline of the birth rate, but other factors have been chiefly responsible for declining fertility. The proportion of married women in the labor force is likely to increase still more. One consequence will probably be a depressing of the birth rate, but the fertility trend will be governed chi…
