This is a study of demographic trends in two regions of Bihar state, India, over the period 1811-1921, based on data from official sources such as the census. The author notes that the region can be divided into two zones. In the more developed north, development led to improved communications and better supplies, but facilitated the spread of highly contagious diseases. In the undeveloped south, repeated subsistence crises resulted in periodic increases in mortality, which kept population growth in check. This balance changed after 1919 and was followed by a period of population growth.

"Population estimates from the 1990 Post-Enumeration Survey (PES), used to measure decennial census undercount, were obtained from dual system estimates (DSE's) that assumed independence within strata defined by age-race-sex-geography and other variables. We make this independence assumption for females, but develop methods to avoid the independence assumption for males within strata by using national level sex ratios from demographic analysis (DA)....We consider several...alternative DSE's, and use DA results for 1990 to apply them to data from the 1990 U.S. census and PES."

"The 1990 [U.S.] census and Post-Enumeration Survey produced census and dual system estimates (DSE) of population by domain, together with an estimated sampling covariance matrix of the DSE. Estimates of the bias of the DSE were derived from various PES evaluation programs. Of the three sources, the unadjusted census is the least variable but is believed to be the most biased, the DSE is less biased but more variable, and the bias estimates may be regarded as unbiased but are the most variable. This article addresses methods for combining the census, the DSE, and bias estimates obtained from the evaluation programs to produce accurate estimates of population shares, as measured by weighted squared- or absolute-error loss functions applied to estimated population shares of domains."

"This paper provides a brief history of the ABS [Australian Bureau of Statistics] projection [service] in the context of its role as the central statistical agency in Australia. It also presents an overview of the methodology used for generating the projections and details the procedures used for compiling the various components of change incorporated in the projections. The accuracy of the ABS past projections is assessed by comparing their results, both at the national and state/territory levels, with corresponding estimated resident population figures. The paper also describes the range of projection services currently provided by the ABS, lists present unmet needs and indicates some of the developments likely to occur in the future in satisfying unmet demand, consolidation of existing services and dissemination of output." The evaluation concerns the period from 1978 to the present.

The author reviews revised population projections from the U.S. Bureau of the Census, which provides "annual figures for the number of Americans from 1992 to 2050 by age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. It also provides estimates of annual numbers of births, deaths, and inmigrants. As in previous reports, notably the 1989 report that this new publication supersedes, a number of alternative projections are given for those who do not like what the Census Bureau calls its 'best estimate' of the future population."

The authors assess demographic projections made over the last 20 years for Australia. "This paper first considers the role of accuracy amongst other objectives of projection activity. Accepting accuracy as a legitimate goal, we then assess the performance of 48 sets of population projections and forecasts for states and territories of Australia prepared since 1970. Projection accuracy is assessed by reference to length of forecast horizon, population size and rate of growth. We also examine the main sources of forecast error in selected projections for each state and compare the performance of past projections with alternatives based on simple extrapolation of contemporary population trends."

"This paper considers parametric graduation for mortality, fertility and migration with particular reference to the development of parameterized local and regional demographic projections. Parametric graduations facilitate comparisons of demographic schedules across many areas and across time points--a feature which can be used to advantage in making forecasts of the three demographic components and thus in setting the assumptions for projections. Particular methodological issues raised are the questions of parsimony in fit and...of overdispersion in relation to binomial or Poisson assumptions. The analysis is illustrated with cross-sectional material for the 32 London boroughs and with time series at the level of Greater London."

This report presents a quantitative analysis of the size, structure, and distribution of the population of South Africa. It is based on a demographic data base created at the Development Bank of Southern Africa using official sources such as the census. The bulk of the publication is made up of statistical tables on the population for the period 1980-1990 by age and sex, educational status, major ethnic group, and urban and rural residence. Data are presented for the whole country, development regions, and magisterial districts.

"Having studied a number of original sources and statistical data, the author reviews the Bulgarian population censuses in 1878, 1912, 1928 and 1968. He analyses the causes for the population's small number which does not correspond to the long historical existence of the Bulgarian nationality. The author finds its basic cause in the long Ottoman domination which was connected with physical destruction, purposeful Islamisation and assimilation, and mass deportation of large groups of Bulgarians."

"This article challenges the conventional notion that all regions of Brazil...were entirely dependent upon the international slave trade for the maintenance or growth of their slave populations....The arguments will be based on data relating to the nineteenth-century slave population of the province of Minas Gerais....Despite the size of its slave contingent, Minas Gerais was at best weakly linked to the export sector....In light of data from the 1830s it will be argued that this economic transformation away from the export sector had a profound impact on slave demography....New evidence shows that the Mineiro slave population achieved a positive rate of natural increase within a single generation of the termination of the Atlantic slave trade."
