regression estimates of the gross reproduction rate using moments of the female age distribution.the 2 most common regression methods for estimating fertility are those developed by rele (1967) and bogue and palmore (1964) as revised by palmore (1978); these methods are sometimes more useful than others because they employ the data that most censuses collect--especially the child-woman ratio by subnational geographic areas. both the rele and palmore equations base their estimates on the child-woman ratio (cwr), the ratio of children ages 0-4 to women ages 15-49. however, in countries where ...198412339581
fertility, development, and family planning.earlier studies by tsui and bogue (1978) and mauldin and berelson (1978) suggested that family planning efforts account for 3-4 times the variance in fertility than is explained by indicators of socioeconomic development. this paper replicates, extends, and revises these analyses. selection of a different set of countries for sampling was found to have little effect on the earlier results. in addition, neither factor scaling nor the addition of distributional variables had a substantial effect. ...198312312646
estimates of the total fertility rate based on the child-woman ratio.in 1967 bougue and palmore computed a set of equations from empirical data to estimate fertility rates from indirect measures of fertility. the most important of these was the child-woman ratio. in 1967 rele used the theory of stable populations to derive a set of equations for converting the child-woman ratio into the gross reproductive rate. these equations are applicable to all populations, stable or unstable. using either approach, the total fertility rates (tfr) can be estimated from the ch ...198312265870
[a new view on fertility developments during the years 1965-1980 in bulgaria and czechoslovakia].fertility trends for the period 1965 to 1980 are examined for the bulgarian, czech, and slovak populations using a method proposed by bogue. the method enables a distinction to be made between period and cohort changes. the impact of pro-natalist policies on the fertility of these three populations is considered.
