  • Title: [Census probability of family extension: fertility levels and trends in Latin America].
    Author: Juarez F.
    Journal: Notas Poblacion; 1987 Apr; 15(43):9-24. PubMed ID: 12315179.
    Abstract:
    Fertility surveys, when compared to census and vital registration data, provide a greater scope for the study of fertility. Not only is it possible to employ orthodox techniques, but also through a birth interval analysis, a measure equivalent to the parity progression ratio (PPR, an optimal index in the study of fertility) can be computed. Censored PPRs were calculated using World Fertility Survey (WFS) data for 9 Latin American countries: Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. In the past, these censored PPRs have proven useful for detecting fertility trends; the present analysis corroborates this result. (author's)
