Mesurer les disparités de fécondité à l'aide du seul recensement
Desplanques (Guy). - Measuring Fertility Difference with a Single Census Birth rates in industrialized countries have generally been calculated by relating civil registration data to populations enumerated in censuses, or obtained from registration. Another method makes use of the number of children enumerated in each household, who are declared in the census, and counts numbers of children born recently, rather than births. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. In this paper two variables are considered: nationality and place of residence. When estimates obtained by the two methods are compared, there are advantages in using the number of children returned in the census, since civil registers do not contain information on these topics. The analysis shows that the fertility of foreign women who have lived in France for several years is relatively low, and that birth rates for women who have moved from one region to another between 1982 and 1990 have been higher. Change of residence is often associated with the birth of a child.
