Main results of the socio-demographic survey of the population of the USSR conducted in 1985

Selected results of a socio-demographic survey conducted in the USSR in 1985 are presented. The survey covered approximately 13 million people. Topics considered include family size, assistance to mothers of young children, birth rates, age at marriage, educational status, income, and internal migration.     

Determining fertility behavior using path analysis

In order to examine factors influencing the perception of ideal family size in Poland, "the present paper discusses path models, which explain a central reproductive behaviour category i.e. the actual number of children....[The author finds that] the image of the ideal family size directly influences the existing number of children. Path coefficients show that the increase of the ideal number of children by one standard deviation is associated with the increase of actual family size by approximately one third standard deviation of this explanatory variable." Other variables considered include parental influence, rural or urban residence, educational status, age at marriage, religion, and quality of life. (SUMMARY IN ENG)     

All-Union population census: number of children born

Data from the 1979 census for the USSR and Union Republics are provided on the distribution of women by number of children, educational attainment, and nationality and the distribution of married women by number of children.     

The 1989 all-Union population census

Selected results of the 1989 Soviet census are presented concerning the Georgian, Azerbaijan, Lithuanian, Moldavian, and Latvian republics. Data are included on the population of each republic by ethnic group (nationality), first language, and other languages spoken.     

Statistical materials: the family in the USSR

Statistical data are presented on the family in the USSR. Data from the 1979 census are included on number of families and their distribution by size; distribution of families by size and type, social class, and nationality; number of families including members of different nationalities, 1959-1979; number of marriages and divorces, 1960-1981; changes in age at marriage, 1960-1981; and distribution of births by age of mother, 1969-1970, 1974-1975, and 1980-1981.     

The dynamics and differentials of fertility in the USSR (survey results)

The results of a fertility survey carried out in the USSR in 1978 are presented. The survey included 33,076 women aged 18 to 59. Data are included on fertility rates by region and Union Republic and by urban or rural area, and on expected fertility of women aged 18 to 44. Changes in actual and desired fertility over time are compared for five-year periods from 1945 to 1978. Differences in fertility are analyzed by type of settlement, educational status, and nationality.     

Education of women and changes in the family model in Poland

Trends in women's education in Poland for the period 1960-1986 are reviewed, with a focus on the status of women and the allocation of women's time. The author concludes that the rapid changes in women's educational status that have occurred are not matched by equally rapid changes in family behavior.     

Statistical materials. Part 2: distribution of families by number of children below age 16 by union republic

Official data for the USSR are presented concerning the distribution of families by number of children by union republic. The data are presented separately for white collar workers, blue collar workers, and kolkhoz members.     

All-Union population census: numbers and size of families by autonomous republic,krai, and oblast

Selected final results of the 1979 census of the USSR are presented. Data are included on the number and size of families by republic, oblast, and minor civil division.     

All-union population census 1989

Data from the 1989 USSR census are provided on the number of males and females by republic and by rural or urban area, and also by age group and marital status for individual republics.     

All-Union population census: family structure

This is a continuation of a previous series of tables on family structure in the USSR, based on data from the 1979 census. Data are included on the size and nationality of families among the urban, rural, and total populations of each Union Republic.     

Population projections for the USSR

Population projections for the Soviet Union are presented up to the year 2015. Separate figures are provided for rural and urban population by republic, and for the economically active population by rural and urban area and republic.     

Correlation between the numbers of two types of children in a family with the mpsd for the family size

The family size (sibship size) N is regarded as an integer-valued random variable having a Modified Power Series distribution (MPSD) of Gupta (1974). The family produces two types of children, with probabilities p and q (p+q =1) . It is proved that the correlation between the numbers B and C of these children is positive or negative according as the function log f(θ) is convex or concave with respect to the function g(θ), (see Section 2). This condition is a simple and a natural extension of the one given by Rao et al (1973). Several examples are discussed to illustrate the result.     

Analysis of the human sex ratio by using overdispersion models

For study of the human sex ratio, one of the most important data sets was collected in Saxony in the 19th century by Geissler. The data contain the sizes of families, with the sex of all children, at the time of registration of the birth of a child. These data are reanalysed to determine how the probability for each sex changes with family size. Three models for overdispersion are fitted: the beta–binomial model of Skellam, the 'multiplicative' binomial model of Altham and the double-binomial model of Efron. For each distribution, both the probability and the dispersion parameters are allowed to vary simultaneously with family size according to two separate regression equations. A finite mixture model is also fitted. The models are fitted using non-linear Poisson regression. They are compared using direct likelihood methods based on the Akaike information criterion. The multiplicative and beta–binomial models provide similar fits, substantially better than that of the double-binomial model. All models show that both the probability that the child is a boy and the dispersion are greater in larger families. There is also some indication that a point probability mass is needed for families containing children uniquely of one sex.

关于我国民族统计几个基本理论问题的思考

我国实施西部大开发战略 ,在很大程度上是为了促进少数民族繁荣和推动民族自治地方社会经济的向前发展。这也是新世纪初期我国民族工作的首要任务。民族统计工作 ,作为民族工作的重要组成部分 ,肩负着为国家提供民族自治地方发展的数据信息、为提高少数民族人民生活水平献计献策、为党和政府制定正确的决策提供咨询意见的重任。新中国建立以来 ,我国政府一直进行着民族统计工作 ,改革开放以后 ,民族统计工作更是逐年得到加强。国家民委专门设立统计处 ,领导全国的民族统计工作 ,取得了很大的成绩 ,为国家民族工作做出了应有的贡献。但从目前…
