Book Description
Socio-economic policy planning and monitoring requires accurate data on births, deaths and population, in order to plan effectively for provision of health, education, employment and social security services. This publication contains detailed information on the compilation of demographic data using a range of complementary methods which can be combined to suit national conditions. Topics covered include: planning collection of fertility and mortality data; fieldwork, data processing and archiving; evaluation, estimation and dissemination; civil registration records, censuses and surveys as data sources.

Book Description
The last 35 years or so have witnessed a dramatic shift in the demography of many developing countries. Before 1960, there were substantial improvements in life expectancy, but fertility declines were very rare. Few people used modern contraceptives, and couples had large families. Since 1960, however, fertility rates have fallen in virtually every major geographic region of the world, for almost all political, social, and economic groups. What factors are responsible for the sharp decline in fertility? What role do child survival programs or family programs play in fertility declines? Casual observation suggests that a decline in infant and child mortality is the most important cause, but there is surprisingly little hard evidence for this conclusion. The papers in this volume explore the theoretical, methodological, and empirical dimensions of the fertility-mortality relationship. It includes several detailed case studies based on contemporary data from developing countries and on historical data from Europe and the United States.

Book Description
Infant/child mortality data might be appropriate for describing the well-being of households, as it can be used to estimate differences between socioeconomic groups and to analyze correlates of mortality. A well-defined mortality rate is specific to a particular age interval and time period and requires information on the number of deaths, by age, during a defined time period and the population at risk, by age, during the same time period. Accurate information of this sort is difficult to obtain. This report reviews three possible methodologies for estimating mortality rates, and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each. The specifics of data collection and techniques for transforming the collected data into mortality estimates are given. The three techniques are: (i) direct estimation with reference period data; (ii) indirect estimation with childhood survivorship data; and (iii) indirect estimation with reference period data. Analysis of the data is based on mortality differentials and multivariate analysis, which produce two quite different sets of issues.
