Janasamkhya. 1990 Dec;8(2):133-42.

Abstract

PIP: The authors evaluate the quality of age and sex data for Bangladesh using four censuses conducted between 1951 and 1981 and five surveys covering the period 1961-1989. By examining sex composition, measuring age-sex accuracy, and inspecting the data graphically, age and sex reporting in the surveys has been found to be more accurate than in the censuses.
