dc.description.abstract | There are various ways of constructing life table
using indirect methods. One such method is using information
of both child and adult mortality. In this thesis we have
used the Trussell's method of estimating child mortality and
Brass-HilI/Trussell-Hill method to estimate adult mortality
based on orphanhood. Thus we have what is known as the Patched
method of constructing life table.
It has been shown that this method is a good barometer
for detecting under-reporting and over-reporting of child
deaths. We have used the difference in the proportions of
respondents aged 0-4 with mother alive and father alive, to
measure the degree of adoption effect in variuos regions . | |
