Abstract:
|
The role of Demographic Analysis (DA) is to provide a coverage measurement estimate of decennial results independent from the (survey based) dual system estimator. In 2000, demographic analysis proved its worth. However, there are many improvements that should be considered. There are two major foci of interest: Constructing national DA measures and subnational demographic "benchmarks," and evaluating components of DA measures. These research foci have proven important given the success of DA in 2000 and the need for continual improvement. This paper will discuss the potential of several new research topics in each focus area, and discuss their feasibility within the operational limits of the 2008 dress rehearsal and Census 2010.
