Regression Estimates of Changes in Fertility, 1955-60 to 1965-75, for Most Major Nations and Territories

摘要

Since the registration of births is inadequate worldwide, knowledge of world fertility trends must be based on estimates using alternative data sources. Using data from the 1970 round of censuses, this paper updates and revises regression equations proposed by Bogue and Palmore in 1964 and summarizes fertility changes for most major nations and territories.
