  6. Basic Concept: Cohort-Component Projection 0 This diagram illustrates the basic concept of a cohort component population projection as well as a method of consistency checking. It shows two census populations: 1960 and 1970. When the estimated fertility for the inter-censual period is applied to 1960 female population age 15-49, it should produce the children age 0-10 in the census population of 1970. The population age 10-100+ in the 1970 census, on the other hand, should be equivalent to the population age 0-95 from the 1960 census with the inter-censual mortality applied.

  27. No recent census available (latest census 10 or more years ago) Only headcount of census was published. Population by age and sex was not published. No data on fertility and mortality were available from the census (such as children ever born, children born during 12 months prior to enumeration, deaths during 12 month prior to enumeration). Censusdiverts significantly from previous population trends. Census population by age and sex cannot be reproduced from the previous census by using inter-censal statistics or estimates on births, deaths, and migration. Examples: Turkey 2007 register-based census; Bangladesh 2001 population census; Equatorial Guinea, 2001 census Obviously manipulatedcensus counts, such as in countries, where the published census count is exactly 300,000 or grossly overestimated to meet a particular, politically relevant threshold (such as 1 million).Examples: 1983 census of Equatorial Guinea; 1969 census of Bhutan. Conclusion: Data Problems 1 Source: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2011): World Population Prospects, the 2010 Revision. New York

  28. Divergencesin fertility databetween different official sources, such as differences between statistical data published by various ministries.Example: In China, fertility estimates range from 1.38 for 2006 (2006 National Sample Survey on Population Changes) to 1.8 for 2007 (Statement by Dr. Hao Linan, Director-General for International Cooperation of the National Population and Family Planning Commission of China at the General Debates of the 41st Session of the UN commission on Population and Development. New York, 8 April 2008). Divergences in mortality estimates (under-five mortality, infant mortality) from different sources, such as vital registers, surveys, censuses as documented by UNICEF Incomplete geographical coverage of censuses and surveys due to armed conflicts or other problemsExample: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sri Lanka (Tamil Region), Sudan (Darfur) Lack of meta-information and quality measures for census and survey data. Post-enumeration survey for census was not carried out or results are not available. Sampling plan for population survey is not available. No information about representativity of survey. Conclusion: Data Problems 1 Source: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2011): World Population Prospects, the 2010 Revision. New York

  29. Incompatibility of subsequent census counts due to change of enumeration method, such as register-based data collection. Examples: Turkey 2007 address-based census, Brazil Incompatibility of subsequent census counts due to change of definitions, such as the change from de-facto population to de-jure population. Incompatible definitions: resident populationExamples: Hong Kong, Singapore, Qatar Highly disputed statistical data on mortality, fertility or migration due to war, civil war, natural disaster. Unlikely sex ratios at birth.Examples: Mortality estimates of Iraq during embargo and war; China’s “missing girls” Extremely volatile population changes within short periods due to (labor) migration, particularly in countries where a large percentage or even the majority of the de-fact population is foreign labor migrants.Examples: Qatar Conclusion: Data Problems 1 Source: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2011): World Population Prospects, the 2010 Revision.
