Garcia-Bogue Research and Development (Chicago,
Illinois). POPSYN: synthesizer of population methodology
software [MRDF]. [1989?]. Chicago, Illinois. In Eng.
This is a
software system called POPSYN, which combines 90 demography programs
into an integrated system. The programs cover topics including general
statistical procedures, errors in evaluating demographic data,
demographic data adjustment, mortality measurement and life table
construction, direct and indirect fertility measurement, nuptiality and
migration, population projections, and population models.
Specifications for POPSYN include IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2 or compatibles, DOS
3.1 or higher, hard disk with 640k RAM, math co-processor (optional),
and Lotus 1-2-3 (version 2.01 or later) for running programmed
spreadsheet routines.

Ojvind. Oral contraception in Denmark in 1983 [MRDF].
Pub. Order No. DDA-0797. [1986?]. Danish National Hospital,
Neurological Ward: Copenhagen, Denmark. Distributed by Odense
University, Danish Data Archives. In Dan. with sum. in Eng.
This
file contains 788 cases and approximately 145 variables per case. "788
women between 15 and 45 and representative of the Danish population
were asked whether they used or had used oral contraceptives and about
their opinions of a possible increased risk of thrombo-embolism among
users. 24%, predominantly young women, were users; 37% were previous
users while 39% had never used oral contraceptives. The use of oral
contraceptives is more common among single women than among
married/cohabiting women....About 50% were of the opinion that the use
of oral contraceptives increases the risk of thrombo-embolism.
Education, occupation or social level had no influence on the frequency
of the use of oral contraceptives."

Matthiessen, Christian W. Urban growth in Denmark:
distance matrix [MRDF]. Pub. Order No. DDA-0701. [1986?].
University of Copenhagen, Institute of Geography: Copenhagen, Denmark.
Distributed by Odense University, Danish Data Archives. In Dan. with
sum. in Eng.
This file contains 75,625 cases, 12 variables per
case, and a data matrix of 275 by 275 fields; the data are in character
format. Census and survey data are provided for the years 1970-1982
for all municipalities in Denmark with more than 200 inhabitants.
"Urban growth in Denmark is assessed in relation to potential
population sizes and potential occupational structure. These variables
have been calculated by means of a kind of 'gravity simulation' which
includes distance. This 'gravity simulation' is determined by means of
the parameters of the distance matrix: physical distance, migration
and commuting."

Population Division (New York, New York). ABACUS
[MRDF]. 1989. New York, New York. In Eng.
"This is a computer
program for population projection used by the United Nations Population
Division. The program uses the cohort-component method to project
population classified by sex and five-year age groups at five year
intervals for up to 100 years in each run. The program provides many
options, including backward projection, annual interpolation, nine
families of model life tables, integration of observed and model life
tables, three families of model fertility schedules, and a parametric
system of model migration schedule, so that users could choose from
many different formats and procedures of formulating their assumptions.
Three versions are available for IBM computers and compatibles: for
microcomputers with coprocessors, for microcomputers without
coprocessors, and for mainframe computers. [An] accompanying manual is
provided [Document No. ST/ESA/SER.R/92]."

indicators, 1988 [MRDF]. 1989. New York, New York. In Eng.
"This is a diskette containing United Nations demographic estimates
and medium variant projections of 13 selected demographic indicators
for all countries (with population size of 300,000 or more around
1985), regions, and major areas of the world. Data are presented
quinquennially for the years 1950-2025. The selected indicators
include the population size, growth rate, crude birth rate, crude death
rate, total fertility rate, expectation of life at birth, and infant
mortality rate. The data contained on this diskette are a subset of
those found on the United Nations magnetic tape, World Population
Prospects, 1988...and fully described in World Population Prospects,
1988, published by the United Nations in 1989. Accompanying technical
documentation is provided."
