Division of Economic and Financial Studies Business Department A WORKBOOKLET IN THE ELEMENTS OF DEMOGRAPHY (VERSION 2) by NJ. PARR FARHAT YUSUF Preface This text has been prepared with the needs of students of “DEM127 :Elements of Demography”, a short, introductory, undergraduate unit taught at Macquarie University, in mind. The text consists of a set of exercises designed to test the student’s comprehension of the basic demographic definitions, measures and techniques, described in Chapters 1-6 and 8 of Demographic Techniques by Pollard, A.H., Farhat Yusuf and Pollard G.N. (1990), and a set of solutions to these exercises. We hope demography students, particularly those who enrol in “Elements of Demography” at Macquarie University, will use such exercises as a part of their preparation for tutorials, class tests and examinations! Nick Parr Farhat Yusuf Macquarie University January 1999 EXERCISES 1. Sources of Demographic Data 1. In most countries there are three major sources of demographic data: census (C), vital registration (V) and sample surveys (S). Indicate the source from which the following data could be obtained in Australia by placing a letter C, V or S by the side of the data item. (a) The number of Lebanon-born Australian women on 6/8/1996 (b) The unemployment rate for Lebanese-born Australian women in June 1994 (© The number of births to Lebanon-born Australian women in 1996 2. The de-jure population of Australia at the 1986 census (30th June) was 16,018,400, The numbers of live births, deaths, permanent or long-term arrivals and permanent or long-term departures in the calendar years from 1986 to 1991 inclusive are given in the following table: Year Births Deaths Arrivals Departures 1986. 243,408 114,981 196,680 92,440 1987 243,959 117,321 221,620 97,770 1988 246,193 119,866 253,860 104,760 1989 250,853 124,232 238,050 120,040 1990 262,648 120,062 234,050 137,470 1991 257,247 119,146 237,230 143,710 (i Estimate the resident population of Australia on 30.6.1991, stating clearly any assumptions you make (i) Compare the relative importance of natural increase and net migration as components of population growth in Australia over the period 1986-1991 3.

Both natural increase and net migration were significant sources of population growth, with natural increase being slightly the larger component, In 1988 net migration actually was the larger component of growth, Net migration fluctuated more from year to year than did natural increase. Thus changes in population growth from year to year were mostly due to changes in net migration. 3. The de facto count includes all persons in an area on census night. The de jure count is of persons usually resident in an area. The many tourists and other short-term visitors to the Gold Coast would be included in the de facto count but not in the de jure count for that area. 4.)

Basic Demographic Measures 1, Pyramid A represents members of De Facto couples in Australia in 1993. The shape of this pyramid indicates the population it represents consists mostly of young adults, and contains no persons under 15 years of age. In this population the average age of males is higher than that for females. Members of de facto couples are usually young, adults, Males in de facto relationships on average are slightly older than their females counterparts. Pyramid B represents Philippines-born persons living in Australia in 1993. Pyramid B represents a population in which there are many more females than males. A clear majority of Philippines-born persons Australia is female. This reflects that many more Filipino females than Filipino males migrate to Australia as spouses. Pyramid C represents Peru in 1980. Pyramid C represents a population in which fertility levels and mortality levels have been high. Peru, like most other less developed countries, has experienced relatively high levels of fertility and mortality. Pyramid D represents New South Wales in 1993. The shape of pyramid D indicates the population it represents has had low levels of fertility and mortality in recent years ‘New South Wales has experienced such low levels of fertility and mortality in recent years. 2. Pyramid A represents Hong Kong-born persons in Australia in 1994. The shape of this pyramid indicates a population in which the largest numbers are in the late teens, early 20s and in the mid-adult ages. In the mid-adult ages the number of females is, noticeably greater than the number of males. Numbers in the young child ages are very low in this population. In the Hong Kong-born population of Australia, numbers in the late teens and early 20 are large, partly because of student movements from Hong Kong to Australia. The number of Hong Kong-born persons in the mid-adult ages is relatively large, reflecting the young ages of migrants at arrival and that most movements from Hong Kong to Australia occurred relatively recently (late “80s and early ‘90s). The number of Hong Kong-born females in the mid-adult ages is noticeably larger than the number of males because of male breadwinners returning to work in Hong Kong. The number of Hong Kong-born young children in Australia is low because of low fertility in Hong Kong in recent years and because the children born to Hong Kong-born migrants whilst in Australia are Australia-born, and not Hong Kong-born. Pyramid B represents settler arrivals in Australia in 1994-95. Pyramid B represents a population persons in the young adult ages and early childhood ages are more numerous than persons in other age groups. Migrants to Australia are most commonly in the young adult or the early child ages. Pyramid C represents Australia in 1993, The shape of this pyramid indicates the population it represents has had low levels of fertility and mortality in recent year. Australia has experienced low levels of fertility and mortality. 21 Pyramid D represents the Poland-born population of Australia in 1993. Pyramid D represents a population with a large bulge in numbers in the 65-74 age range and a smaller bulge in numbers in the 35-44 age range, Much of the migration from Poland to Australia occurred in the period just after the end of World War II. The only other period since World War I in which numbers of migrants from Poland to Australia ‘were significant was in the early 1980s. Many of the post-war Polish migrants who arrived in Australia as young adults are in the 65-74 age range in 1993, and many of the Polish migrants who arrived in Australia in the early 1980s as young adults are in the 35-44 age range in 1993. 3. Pyramid A represents Australia in 1993, The shape of this pyramid indicates the population it represents has had low levels of fertility and mortality in recent year Australia has experienced low levels of fertility and mortality, Pyramid B represents part-time workers in Australia in 1993. Pyramid B represents a population in which all members are aged over 15, most being in the working ages, and in which a clear majority is female. A clear majority of part-time workers in Australia is female and all part-time workers are over 15. Pyramid C represents full-time workers in Australia in 1993. Pyramid B represents a population in which all members are aged over 15, most being in the labour force ages, and in which a clear majority is male, A clear majority of full-time workers in Australia is male and all full-time workers are over 15 Pyramid D represents convict arrivals in New South Wales 1816-1822. Pyramid D represents a population in which the overwhelming majority of the population is male and in which most are in the young adult ages, The population contains a few persons aged under 15. Convicts arriving in New South Wales were mostly male and mostly young adults. A few were under 15 years of age 2 Population: falas 100 females ‘hildren per 1000 wo 2 7. Graph A represents ASFRs for Malawi in 1992, The n-shape of this graph is a common feature of graphs of female ASFRs. Graph A indicates very high levels of fertility. Along with most other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, in the early 1990s Malawi experienced very high fertility rates. Graph B represents ASFRs for Australia in 1961, Graph B indicates moderately high levels of fertility and a fairly early age pattern of childbearing, Such a pattern of fertility was found in Australia in the early 1960s during the latter stages of the post-war baby boom. Graph C represents ASFRs for Australia in 1990, Graph C indicates low levels of fertility and a late age pattern of childbearing. Such a pattern of fertility was found in Australia in the early 1990s. Graph D represents ASDRs for Australia in 1990. Graph D shows very low values throughout the 15-49 age range.

That the Philippines- born and Viet Nam-born have higher a CBR than the Australia-born reflects not only their having higher ASFRs but also that females of reproductive age form much higher proportions of the populations of these two migrant groups. The CBR for the Philippines-born is higher than that for the Viet Nam-born, even though the TFR for the Philippines-born is lower, because females of reproductive age form a larger proportion of the Philippines-born population. The values of the GFRs reflect not only the values of ASFRs but also the distributions of women within the reproductive ages. Thus, for example, the GFR for the Philippines-born is lowered by a high proportions of women of reproductive age being in the 35-39 and 40-44 age groups, groups with relatively low ASFRs. 2 4, () TER = 3.03 births per woman i) GRR = 1.48 daughters per woman Gil) NRR = 1.33 (iv) GER = 107.94 births per 1000 women aged 15-44 (or 98.07 births per 1000 women aged 15-49) (v) CBR = 25.46 births per 1000 women 5.)

The differences in standardised death rates reflect only the differences in the ASDRs of the two groups and are unaffected by differences in the proportions in the different age groups of the single male and married male populations. Thus single males have the higher standardised death rates. Higher mortality of single males may be due to those with high mortality risks being less likely to marry or to marriage reducing mortality risks 3.

The discrepancies tend to be greatest for the young adult ages and the childhood ages. The causes of the discrepancies between the age distributions of the estimated and projected female populations are the differences between the age-specific fertility rates, the survivorship ratios for females, the sex ratio at birth and the numbers of net migrants by age that were measured for the 1986-1991 period and the values of these variables used in the projection. Of these differences, the most significant are the differences in net migration by age: the projection assumes zero migration whilst immigration statistics show that Australia had high levels of net immigration during this period. This accounts for the lower projected female population. The most common ages for Australian immigrants are the young adult and childhood ages. Hence, extent of the underestimation of numbers by the projection tended to be greater for these groups. Actual survivorship ratios for the 1986-1991 period were higher than those assumed in the projection (mortality rates for females declined between 1981 and 1991. However, because in absolute terms the change in the survivorship ratios was, slight (most SRs were close to 1 in 1981) the importance of the underestimation of survivorship ratios as a source of error in the projection is fairly slight. Changes in ASERs during the projection period were slight and, hence were not a major source of error. The underestimation of numbers of women in the reproductive ages in 1991, caused by the underestimation of migration and survivorship, is a source of error in the projection of the 0-4 age group. 30 2.@ ‘Age Number of | Projected Females in | Number of 1990 (millions) | Females in 2005 (millions) 0-14 150.1 1447 15-29) 170.7 148.1 30-44 112.4 167.4 45-59 64.6 107.0 60+ 50.9 69.8 Total 348.7 637.0 i) The female population is projected to increase even though below replacement fertility is assumed to prevail throughout the projection period because the proportion of the female population in the reproductive ages (15-44) will remain high (higher than the proportions in the female life table population) throughout the projection period and the proportion of females in the high mortality ages (60+) will remain low (lower than the proportion in the life table population) throughout the projection period 3, Assuming population grows exponentially at the average annual rate of growth for the period 30.6.1974-30.6.1984 (3.6%), estimated population on 1.1.81 is 1.90 million persons. 31
