  • Title: Population birth, death and growth rate in Bangladesh: census estimates.
    Author: Begum S.
    Journal: Bangladesh Dev Stud; 1990 Jun; 18(2):51-75. PubMed ID: 12316691.
    Abstract:
    The present estimates of the population vital rates for various intercensal periods between 1951-81 with the help of census data and South Asian Pattern of Model Life Table suggest that the previous estimates for the same using the same data but West Model Life Table were overestimates. The present estimates suggest that the population birth and death rates during 1951-1961 and 1961-74 periods were respectively 43 and 18 and 45 and 16 instead of 49 and 24 and 47 and 18 estimated earlier. The present estimates further suggest that these vital rates during the 1974-81 period were 44 and 15. The present study therefore suggests that Bangladesh during the 2 decades of the 1960s and 1970s has experienced little demographic change.
