Coverage of the population in Census 2000: Results from Demographic Analysis
Demographic perspectives on China and India
This paper compares levels and trends of population growth rates, age and sex composition, mortality, and fertility including family planning practices in the world's two most populous countries, China and India. Both countries are undergoing demographic transition but China is nearer than India to achieving a stationary population. Fertility in China has declined below replacement level while in India it is nearly one and a half children per wom…

Factors Affecting Infant and Child Mortality
This paper examines the determinants of infant and child mortality variations in Jordan Yemen Egypt and Tunisia using data from WFS surveys. The analysis considers biological correlates of mortality--mothers age birth order birth interval and previous infant loss--and several social factors--mothers and fathers education mothers residence fathers occupation and mothers work experience since marriage. The estimates for the 4 countries show large v…
Factors affecting infant and child mortality
This paper examines the determinants of infant and child mortality variations in four near east countries using data from WFS surveys. The analysis considers biological correlates of mortality—mother's age, birth order, birth interval, and previous infant loss—and several social factors—mother's and father's education, mother's residence, father's occupation, and mother's work experience since marriage. A multivariate analysis using a logistic re…
Preliminary Estimates of Fertility Decline in India During the 1970s
There are major discrepancies among the available estimates of the extent to which fertility in India declined during the 1970s. The fertility decline implied by 2 national sample surveys conducted in 1972 and 1978 by the Office of the Registrar General is twice that implied by the series of crude birth rates from the Sample Registration System. In view of a wider interest in a better understanding of the demographic changes in India the authors …
Vital Rates in India 1961-71 Estimated from 1971 Census Data
In the last decade the increase in the population of India, while, of course, very large, was smaller than predicted by official forecasts. With the use of recent census and sample registration data — in the absence of age-specific rates and adequate vital statistics — this paper provides estimates of fertility and mortality through the reverse-survival and forward-projection methods. Birth rates are estimated as 40·5–42, death rates as 18–20, an…
Model life tables: An empirical test of their applicability to less developed countries
Model life tables are commonly used for estimating various parameters of mortality of populations in developing countries with limited data. The application of the models is based on the assumption that the agemortality pattern of the population under consideration resembles one of the life tables in the models. The analysis in this paper tests the validity of this assumption for developing countries with data usable for the purpose. The major co…
Hong Kong's Fertility Decline 1961-68
Recent fertility declines in Hong Kong: The Role of the Changing Age Structure
The birth rate in Hong Kong fell rapidly from 1961 to 1966: from 35·5 in 1961 to 25·8 in 1966 1 These rates are based on corrected estimates of population and of births made after the 1966 census. They differ somewhat from rates published before that, because the earlier rates had not been adjusted for some underregistration of births and had been calculated on larger population bases than proved to be justified by the census. - a decline of27%. …
