Report on the Age Distribution and Rates of Mortality deduced from the Indian Census Returns of 1921 and previous enumerations

1926

The following table shows the differences between the recorded and the graduated numbers in respect of 100 000 males in Bengal as well as the rate of misstatement at each age based on the assumption that the graduated numbers are a correct redistribution of the numbers recorded by the enumerator. [...] The decrease in the numbers living from age to age will be approximately equal to one fifth of the total of the quinary group multiplied by the rate of mortality for the middle age of the group. [...] In Madras the United Provinces and Bengal the number of emigrants exceeds the immigrants the balance being about 2 per cent in the case of the former two Provinces and one per cent in the ease of Bengal. [...] Another consideration for adopting the above mentioned method of grouping was that as the rate of increase of the population plays such an important part in determining the rates of mortality it enabled the rate of increase to be based on the average of the rates in the following three periods of 20 years each namely 1881 to 1901 1891 to 1911 and 1901 to 1921 double weight being given to the mi [...] The irregular lines give the logarithm of the ratios of the T5„ which we wish to graduate to T „ of a standard table and the smooth lines are the graduations of the irregular lines by a mathematical formula of the form y 1—ax—bx2+cx3.
