Abstract

This paper presents the results of an attempt at estimating the current birth rates in East and West Pakistan. In the absence of an adequate registration system, estimates of vital rates are dependent on alternative sources of data and various techniques of estimation. In the case of Pakistan, where registration systems are extremely defective, the two major alternative sources of data are the P9pulation Growth Estimation (pGE) experiment and the (1951 and 1961) decennial censuses of population.
