Estimates of net migration by age at migration from pairs of enumerations of the foreign born: United States, 1880-1930.

"This paper describes a new method for indirectly estimating age schedules of net migration. The method is illustrated with historical data for the United States. The analysis employs a recently developed technique--iterative intracohort interpolation--to estimate age schedules of net migration from pairs of enumerations of the foreign born by age. The data required for this application are enumerations of the foreign born (or more generally of those born outside the enumeration area) by age in two successive censuses, a life table presumed to reflect the mortality experience of the foreign born during the intercensal period, and, optionally, data on variations in the overall level of migration during the intercensal period. The procedure provides estimates of the average annual number of foreign born net migrants during a decade by their age at the time of entry/exit." (SUMMARY IN ITA AND FRE)

Estimated number of leprosy cases in the world.

Planning for disease control requires estimates of the number of leprosy patients from local to global levels. From the mid-sixties to the mid-eighties, global estimates appeared to be constant at between 10 and 12 million. The introduction of multidrug therapy (MDT) in many countries and the consequent reduction of prevalence of the disease has necessitated a reassessment of the global estimate. Based on available information and its interpretation, the number of leprosy cases in the world in 1991 has been estimated at 5.5 million. The number of individuals with deformities due to leprosy, including persons now cured of the disease, has been estimated at between 2 and 3 million.

Infant and child mortality levels and trends in Bangladesh.

Infant and child mortality levels and trends in Bangladesh are examined using data from the 1989 Bangladesh Fertility Survey. Both infant and child mortality declined from the mid 1970s but infant mortality declined more quickly. The level of infant mortality in 1989 was around 100 per 1000 live births while child mortality (5q0) was 200 per 1000 live births. Life table analysis confirms the change in infant and child mortality. The decline in infant mortality is attributed to the introduction of improved public health measures and access to maternal and child health services.

Adult mortality and proportions orphaned in Austria in 1991.

"At the Austrian micro-census taken in June 1991, a question was inserted on survival of parents and grandparents (on both sides), with the object of investigating family networks.... By comparing the census information on survival of parents and the corresponding direct measures of mortality, we have an opportunity to assess the validity of techniques which are commonly used in countries with defective vital registration. We shall consider here female adult mortality and proportions of persons whose mothers have died (maternal orphanhood).... This method, which hinges on the reporting of a single event that is no doubt remembered well, proves a good substitute for direct mortality measures, despite a slight underestimation. It describes the performance of cohorts, some of which are relatively old, but the results can be translated into the recent period."

A parametric method for census based estimation of child mortality.

"A parametric method for estimating child mortality from reports concerning children ever born and surviving children is presented. In contrast with previously proposed methods, it facilitates use of single-year age reports by mothers on the survival of their children. In addition, the new method makes it possible to incorporate a priori knowledge of child mortality and fertility in the estimation process. The new method is illustrated by means of an application to data from the 1976 Western Samoa census."
