Demographic data collection in less developed countries
1946-1996. Population Studies, Vol. 50, No. 3, Nov 1996. 433-50
pp. London, England. In Eng.
"[The] evolution over the last 50
years of data collection systems in less developed countries is
assessed. The progress made by civil registration systems has been
extremely disappointing. Except in Central and South America, their
role in providing vital rate estimates is still very limited. In
contrast, the promulgation of regular population censuses has been a
success, particularly in Africa. The relative merits and demerits of
different types of demographic surveys are described. To some extent
multi-round designs have given way to single-round surveys, such as the
Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). DHS-style enquiries are
particularly suitable for evaluation of interventions but are less
appropriate if the main aim is to measure vital
rates."

Evaluating the Sample Registration System using indirect estimates
of fertility and mortality. Occasional Paper No. 3 of 1992. 1993.
xiii, 62 pp. Office of the Registrar General: New Delhi, India. In Eng.
The authors evaluate the quality of mortality and fertility
estimates obtained from the Indian Sample Registration System by using
a number of indirect estimation techniques. Three fertility estimation
techniques were used: the Palmore method, the Gunasekaran-Palmore
method, and the Rele method. The four mortality estimation methods used
were the Swanson-Palmore method, an extension of this method that
allows for estimating life expectancy at birth for each sex separately,
the Gunasekaran-Palmore-Gardner method, and a new method under
development based on the Rele-Palmore methods. "The overall
conclusion from our evaluation of the SRS is that both the fertility
and mortality estimates are remarkably
good."

This paper describes the
sources of demographic data that are the necessary prerequisite for the
study of populations. It discusses the main systems of continuing
registration, including vital statistics, population registers, and
population laboratories; censuses; surveys; and other ways of
collecting demographic information such as remote detection,
administrative records, and qualitative methods. Both the advantages
and drawbacks of these various approaches to data collection are
discussed.

"After providing context for decisions
about census-taking strategy, we comment on the recent literature on
census adjustment, including the papers by Freedman and Wachter and by
Breiman contained in this issue; we also discuss the Census Bureau's
plans for the year 2000. We conclude that the 1990 approach to
summarizing the accuracy of an adjusted census can be improved upon,
but that many of the criticisms of census adjustment do not reflect a
balanced decision-making perspective. We also conclude that the Census
Bureau is pursuing constructive research in evaluating a `one-number
census', and we suggest that statisticians have a role to play in
avoiding the costly legal battles that have plagued recent censuses by
assisting in the process of deciding on a design for the 2000
census." Comments and rejoinders on this and related papers are

"The question of whether to adjust the 1990 [U.S.] census
using a capture-recapture model has been hotly argued in statistical
journals and courtrooms. Most of the arguments to date concern
methodological issues rather than data quality. Following the Post
Enumeration Survey, which was designed to provide the basic data for
adjustment, the Census Bureau carried out various evaluation studies to
try to determine the accuracy of the adjusted counts as compared to the
census counts. This resulted in the P-project reports, which totaled
over a thousand pages of evaluation descriptions and tables. Careful
scrutiny of these studies together with auxiliary sources of
information provided by the Census Bureau is used to examine the issue
of whether the data gathered in the Post Enumeration Survey can provide
reliable undercount estimates." Comments and rejoinders on this

Heterogeneity and census adjustment for the intercensal base.
Statistical Science, Vol. 9, No. 4, Nov 1994. 476-85 pp. Hayward,
California. In Eng.
"Current techniques for [U.S.] census
adjustment involve the `synthetic assumption' that undercount rates are
constant within `post-strata' across geographical areas. A poststratum
is a subgroup of people with given demographic characteristics;
poststrata are chosen to minimize heterogeneity in undercount rates.
This paper will use 1990 census data to assess the synthetic
assumption. We find that heterogeneity within poststrata is quite
large, with a corresponding impact on local undercount rates estimated
by the synthetic method. Thus, any comparison of error rates between
the census and adjusted counts should take heterogeneity into
account." Comments and rejoinders on this and related papers are

"Considering the difficulties, the [U.S.]
Census Bureau does a remarkably good job at counting people. There are
two current techniques for evaluating or adjusting the census: (a)
demographic analysis uses administrative records to make independent
population estimates, which can be compared to census counts; (b) data
from an independent sample survey can be used to estimate population
coverage. If there is a large undercount, these techniques may be
accurate enough for adjustment. With a small undercount, it is unlikely
that current adjustment methodologies can improve on the census;
instead, adjustment could easily degrade the accuracy of the data. This
article reviews plans for Census 2000, including proposals for
adjustment, in the light of past
experience."

kinds of errors introduced by [census] adjustment. Correlation bias is
the error that occurs because the post-enumeration survey (PES) tends
to miss the same people as the census misses, leaving `unreached
people' out of the adjusted figures. Failures of the synthetic
assumption are errors that occur when people in the same population
group living in different places have different true undercount rates,
contrary to the homogeneity assumption built into the
adjustment....These errors make it unlikely that the adjustment
improves the population shares of states and local
jurisdictions."
