55:40675 Chen, Wei. Discussion on improvement of population statistics in cities and towns in China. Renkou Yanjiu, No. 6, Nov 29, 1987. 20-3 pp. Beijing, China. In Chi.
Inconsistencies in available population statistics for China's cities and towns are described. The author suggests improving these statistics by clarifying the definition of urban population and applying modern statistical methods to data collection and analysis.

[Les operations statistiques de collecte des donnees demographiques dans l'Afrique noire coloniale.] Annales de Demographie Historique, 1987. 33-50 pp. Paris, France. In Fre. with sum. in Eng.
The authors provide an overview of the statistical procedures used to collect demographic data in colonial Sub-Saharan Africa. "The 'statistical operations' considered here, as opposed to the purely administrative procedures, consist of: censuses with complete population coverage and sample surveys; operations at the national and local levels; operations with strictly demographic targets and others primarily intended for other purposes but also yielding certain demographic data (population size, structure, change). Roughly 100 national operations (two thirds censuses, a third surveys) have been identified for the 46 countries reviewed. Two thirds of them were conducted between 1947 and 1966, in the very last years of the colonial era."

"Internal critique of population statistics in the French colonial system requires knowledge of the inside functioning of the system as a whole, its communications mechanisms, [and] its power struggles between different levels of administration. The text addresses itself to these issues and tries to show how population statistics were an integral part of a large information circuit that had in a sense its own language."

The system of sociodemographic accounts (SDA) that has been developed in the Netherlands is described. "Two systems of SDA have been developed; one on the societal participation and mobility, one on the participation in and mobility within living arrangements. Both accounts cover the total population. This publication describes the methodology in constructing the accounts on the societal participation and mobility of the population and presents the results for the period 1980-85."

The results of a two-part study to assess the international comparability of the coding of death certificates mentioning cancer are presented. "Part I repeated a 1978 study in which nine countries coded the same 1,234 United States death certificates mentioning cancer....The proportion of disagreements in coding the underlying cause of death fell about 35% between 1978 and the present study." Part II involved the analysis of some 100 certificates from 7 participating countries, translated into English, each of which posed problems in coding cancer. "Discrepancies in assigning the underlying cause of death were found for 54% of these problem certificates. The major types of problems identified were coding when multiple cancer sites were mentioned on the death certificate, whether to select heart disease or cancer as the underlying cause of death, and the interpretation of the coding rules."

[Le recueil de genealogies orales: interet et limites pour l'histoire demographique de l'Afrique.] Annales de Demographie Historique, 1987. 67-83 pp. Paris, France. In Fre. with sum. in Eng.
The value of oral genealogies as sources of historical demographic data in Africa is discussed. The author distinguishes between biases that cannot be corrected, such as those that overestimate fertility and underestimate mortality and migration, and those that can be corrected. Genealogical data collected among the Fula Bande of Senegal are used to illustrate these different kinds of bias. The use of oral genealogies to improve the quality of data from classical demographic surveys is also considered.

"This paper intends, first, to give an overview of the various approaches available to collect fertility and mortality data in censuses and sample surveys to supplement the defective data from the civil registration system. The particular case on how those approaches have evolved in population censuses is illustrated in the light of recent research conducted by the United Nations Statistical Office on 320 censuses undertaken between 1965 and 1984 for which country files on census materials have been maintained." Included are analyses of the approaches and their potential to obtain reliable data and a description of indirect techniques for demographic estimation.

"A survey of vital and health statistics, and the evaluation of collection of these data in the registration centres of Kainji Lake Area [Nigeria], are presented. Forty-two per cent of all deaths occurred below 10 years of age, with the largest percentage occurring below 5 years of age. The leading causes of all deaths were malaria, gastro-intestinal disorders and measles. Occurrence of an epidemic was found to be significant to the overall mortality. The role of traditional healers in the control of childhood mortality is discussed. About 34% of the women had married more than once and 56% of the divorces occurred after the first marriage....The number of deliveries in the hospitals was more than the number of registered births and no death was registered at the centres."

This report describes the Bangladesh Demographic Survey and Vital Registration System, which in the absence of an adequate national civil registration system has provided estimates of vital rates since 1980. In 1983, the sample covered was expanded from 103 to 210 sample units and now includes some 52,000 households, of which roughly three-quarters are in rural areas. In addition to describing the system, some summary results are provided concerning vital rates for the period 1980-1985.

The authors describe the development of a microcomputer-based vital statistics database of all singleton births that occurred in Massachusetts during the period 1975-1984. They discuss methods used to remove redundant information and unique identifiers in order to reduce the disk space required. They conclude that "implementing similar systems for state registries on births, deaths, cancers, and birth defects potentially offers investigators easy access to vast stores of information and would enable public health officials to produce timely reports, initiate a variety of surveillance activities, and respond rapidly to residents' inquiries about clusters and anomalous disease patterns."

The next part of the report presents an account of census error....It considers disagreements about census concepts, lack of precision and inadequate timeliness. The report reviews arguments relating to adjusting the census and provides information that proponents and opponents of adjustment might use to state their positions. It outlines alternative enumerative approaches: the use of administrative records, registration, increased efforts at improving census field procedures, as well as adjustments based on statistical surveys."

"In the first half of the article, a broad account of content and procedures is given. In conduct of individual surveys, the achievements of the World Fertilty Survey were based on thoroughness rather than technical superiority. The later aspects of the program, including analysis, archiving, and data dissemination, were more innovative and represent models of excellence for similar future enquiries. In overall terms, the program is judged to be an expensive success. In the second half of the article, two methodological issues are discussed in more detail: the collection of retrospective birth histories and the translation of survey instruments into local languages."

"The principal objective of this study is to resolve a variety of methodological issues in connection with the measurement of levels and determinants of fertility, contraception, child health, and infant and child mortality in survey research. These issues include: the comparative merits and disadvantages of a truncated (six-year) vs. a full birth history; the significance of questions on fetal deaths for estimating infant mortality and fertility; the potential of a six-year calendar for the collection of monthly data on contraceptive practice, breastfeeding, amenorrhea, postpartum abstinence and exposure to risk;...[and] the usefulness of the calendar for collecting monthly data on a woman's employment history and residence and migration history....Within the scope of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) project, an experimental questionnaire was developed and administered in Peru between September and December of 1986 to a national sample of 2,534 women of reproductive age; at the same time, a national sample of 4,997 women was interviewed with the standard DHS questionnaire."
