  • Title: Indirect estimates of the birth and death rates and age-sex composition of Palestinian refugees.
    Author: Weller RH, Serow WJ.
    Journal: Popul Bull ESCWA; 1986 Dec; (29):5-20. PubMed ID: 12268756.
    Abstract:
    Fertility, mortality, and age and sex distribution among Palestinians living in Jordan, the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria in the 1970s are examined. Indirect estimation techniques developed by Preston are used to estimate crude birth and death rates, population size, and age and sex composition for each of the five geographical areas. The estimates are compared with figures from the registers maintained by the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). This is a revised version of a paper originally presented at the 1984 Annual Meeting of the Population Association of America (see Population Index, Vol. 50, No. 3, Fall 1984, p. 415).
