The use of hypothetical cohorts in estimating demographic parameters under conditions of changing fertility and mortality

H Zlotnik et al. Demography. 1981 Feb.

Abstract

The indirect methods of demographic estimation available to date are often inadequate to estimate levels in the presence of trends. The use of measures relative to hypothetical cohorts to minimize the effects of trends and estimate period levels is described. Procedures allowing the estimation of inter-survey levels of fertility, child mortality and adult mortality are illustrated using data from Thailand and Peru.
