"This article proposes a new procedure for estimating men's mortality from paternal orphanhood which generally yields more accurate results than the existing approach. A procedure for estimating mortality from maternal orphanhood data based on consistent assumptions is also presented. The theory underlying these methods is outlined.... The article also points out an error made in the tabulation of the weighting factors used until now to estimate mortality from paternal orphanhood. Investigations using simulated data are presented which support the theoretical arguments that suggest that the paternal orphanhood method is more robust than has often been assumed and which confirm that the new approach usually produces more accurate estimates than the weighting factors."

"The United Nations working manual for MORTPAK-Lite, a software package for demographic measurement, includes among its 16 computer programs a routine (UNABR) that graduates a set of age-specific probabilities of dying...for the standard set of five-year age groups into a set of single-year probabilities of dying. The graduation is effected with an eight-parameter 'law of mortality' known as the Heligman/Pollard model mortality schedule. Model mortality schedules...are useful in mortality analysis and forecasting. Several such applications are illustrated in this article: a historical time-series analysis, a forecasting application, studies of causes of death, spatial differences and sex-specific mortality disaggregated by race."

"Using statistics on migration flows by country of origin gathered by three of the traditional countries of immigration (Australia, Canada and the United States of America) and five European countries (Belgium, Federal Republic of Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), this paper analyses trends in migration from developing to developed countries, the so-called 'South-to-North' component of international migration. The data reveal that persons born in the developing world now constitute a majority of the immigrants admitted for resettlement by the traditional countries of immigration. In Europe, in contrast, migrants from developed countries still predominate in migrant inflows. However, during the 1980s, European countries generally gained population from the developing world, whereas they recorded only small or even negative net migration balances with respect to other developed countries."

"This article investigates whether misreporting of ages contributes to the apparently low mortality at older ages in Latin America. It compares the size of cohorts enumerated at two censuses, after allowance for intercensal deaths, in 10 intercensal periods in four countries. It finds evidence of very pervasive overstatement of age at advanced ages. Using an empirical age-reporting matrix for Costa Rica, it estimates the bias that such misstatement produces in measured adult mortality levels in that country."
