Longitudinal Registration

As is the case in many other countries, mortality has been undergoing substantial, though not precisely understood, changes in Pakistan. In the absence of a reliable and adequate system of vital registration in the country, the precise measurement of these changes is well nigh impossible. In Pakistan, an attempt to estimate levels of fertility and mortality on a sample basis was made through the Population Growth Estimation (PGE) project undertaken from 1962 through 1965 [5, 12]. Subsequently, another demographic survey, called the Population Growth Survey (PGS), was initiated and carried out from 1968 through 1971 [13]. In the PGE a dual system of data collection was utilized based on continuous (Longitudinal) registration and a periodic (Cross-Sectional) survey. In the PGS, data were collected through periodic surveys only. Data from the PGS have only recently been made available to researchers. The present set of life tables is based on the mortality statistics collected in 1968 and 1971 field operations of the PGS.

Growth Estimation

Readers of this journal were introduced to the Population Growth Estimation (PGE) experiment in the issue of Spring 1962 [5]. Since then five mimeographed interim reports1 have appeared and two papers have been presented to international conferences [23 ;4]. The experiment is now in its third year and the time has come to report more comprehensively on the findings and experiences of the first two years. We feel the importance of the findings to be so great for the future of this country (and the confidence in their reliability to be sufficiently high) that they should be disclosed. Even if not immediately accepted, the findings will provoke continued enquiries, resulting in eventual acceptance of more generally agreed upon vital rates. Simultaneously, a more comprehensive report in the form of a monograph is being prepared [3]. Opinions of an assertive nature in this article will — it is hoped — be justified more convincingly in the monograph. The monograph will thus enable both the authors and the readers to subject the PGE experiment and its findings to a much more penetrating criticism than the current article. Although this article is a report on the first two years of the experiment, it repeats in broad strokes some of the introductory material available elsewhere. Readers familiar with the experiment will excuse this tendency to ensure that the present article is self contained. Besides discussing certain natural developments arising from the experiment, this paper indicates briefly some evolutionary shifts in our thinking and the consequent changes in the organization and administration of the experiment.
