Strategic thinking regarding the immigration issue in Guangdong province.

"Many people have been moving to Guangdong Province from other parts of China since 1978. This paper analyzes the immigration issue in the province and suggests that the provincial government should handle this matter carefully and should give consideration to both national (Chinese) and regional (Guangdong Province) interests. The government of Guangdong Province should place priority on admitting a work force with higher education or higher work skills, which will promote the economic progress of the province."

[Coverage and quality of the registration of perinatal deaths occurring in health institutions in the Federal District].

"This paper presents the results of the first direct attempt at evaluating the coverage of the perinatal death registration in the Distrito Federal [of Mexico]; this study is based on the information gathered from 574 deaths which took place in 23 hospitals in the Distrito Federal during a three month period in 1984. Both the causes of the failure to register many of these deaths and the quality of the information presented in perinatal death certificates are pointed out and discussed here. According to the evidence analyzed, it is clear that underregistration in the Distrito Federal is extremely marked.... The paper suggests the possibility of establishing a hospital registration system which would keep a record of both deaths and births. It also stresses the need for establishing rules to detect fetal deaths plus the need for unifying criteria regarding the definition of 'live birth'." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Measuring accuracy in a post-enumeration survey].

"The U.S. Bureau of the Census will use a post-enumeration survey to measure the coverage of the 1990 Decennial Census. The Census Bureau has developed and tested new procedures aimed at increasing the accuracy of the survey. This paper describes the new methods. It discusses the categories of error that occur in a post-enumeration survey and means of evaluation to determine that the results are accurate. The new methods and the evaluation of the methods are discussed in the context of a recent test post-enumeration survey."

[Evaluation of the quality of 1986 census data by age and sex at the national level].

"The purpose of the present study is to compare the [Statistics Canada method of reverse record check] estimates of undercoverage, by age and sex, with estimates produced using other sources of data, specifically: final postcensal estimates; estimates produced by the component method (for cohorts since 1961); and estimates produced through use of administrative data from Family Allowance (ages 0-14) and Old Age Security (ages 65+). Results indicate that, even though the estimates of the level of undercoverage by age differ depending on the source and/or method, the same general trend is observed. Using the average of such figures, for example, can yield an estimate of the 'actual' size of the Canadian population as of June 1, 1986." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)

[Evolution and demographic characteristics of native groups in Canada, 1986-2011].

Population estimates and projections are presented and analyzed for the period 1986-2011 for the Native American population living in Canada. The analysis considers census underenumeration and the impact of recent legislation that increased the number of residents with Native American status by approximately 25 percent. It is concluded that "native groups will continue to grow at a higher rate than the Canadian population as a whole. Comparing the two populations shows a convergence for some demographic characteristics; however, the aging of the native population started much later." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
