Problems of Population Census in Africa and Problems with the Use of Vital Records in Nigeria.

Data and statistics is able to be collected through a number of different ways to gather information, the majority of people have taken part

First of all, the demography is the study of human’s inhabitants. The population change over time because childbirths, deaths, and migration. Also, the population size can be reflecting by fertility, mortality, and migration. The fertility is the ability of women to product healthy offspring in abundance. On other word, it is the ability of a women to get pregnant. However, fertility depends into feelings, way of life, food habits, and take alcohol and other drugs. In demography, there are measures for fertility which is the crude birth rate and it is every twelve months’ quantity of live births for each thousand people in a population. The second thing that affect population size is mortality which means the quantity of death in inhabitants

This research surveyed societies with populations numbering in the millions as well as those with populations of fewer than 100, so keep

Census records are an overview of families on a particular day for a particular city, state, and/or district taken by a governing body in which citizens are asked different questions pertaining to their individual and family units, and are generally (not always) used to receive a somewhat accurate count on the population of said area. What a mouth full!

Sampling is a method by which one can gain an estimation of accuracy for population (Jaggia & Kelly, 2014). Surveying is a form of sampling which is often used to provide an estimate. A survey was conducted on a group of people living in New York City which consisted of 445 randomly selected people from multiple boroughs on a monthly basis for six months. The survey focused on the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Additionally, demographic information was collected, including level of education and marital status. This paper will provide the results of the survey as well as their accuracy of the estimates in order for the New York City governmental agency personnel.

The systematic collection of data from large number of people, normally based on a sample of the population. This method can be fast, inexpensive and efficient, produces quantitative data and easy to replicate and generalise findings due to large sample. However there can be low response rates and demand characteristics. Structured or unstructured interviews are another method that can be used.

The U.S. Census is a great example. They can take the information given and provide a way to summarize what already exists in a given population, such as how many men and women there are, how many children there are, or how many people are currently employed.

A source of secondary data that sociologists use is official statistics, official statistics are quantitative data created by the government or other official bodies. A ten-yearly Census of the entire UK population is done on a range of area’s e.g. births, marriages and divorces. Government use official statistics in policy-making and there are several types of sources: registration, official surveys and administrative records.

In regards to sampling, the number of participants and associated demographic information was detailed in the analysis. The specific techniques and methods used were provided to include, for example, thematic analysis to determine the four major themes as well as minor themes at both time periods. From the use of thematic analysis it can be inferred that the researched used a data analytic strategy to find patterns in the data and develop themes by developing “codes, words or phrases that serve as labels for sections of data” (Boyatzis, 1998, p.

One of the biggest problem in today’s world is the struggle of African Countries and others. Seventy-five percent of the world’s poorest countries are located in Africa. Approximately one in three people living in Africa are undernourished and millions even lack the opportunity to have clean water. Only around twenty percent of women in Africa have access to education. This data proves that modern world

Africa is the world's second largest continent in both area and population, only Aisa supersede Africa in this area. Approximately 11,670,000 square miles Africa make up roughly a fifth of the world's land area, Also with a population of 959 million people, with calculates to be a seventh of the world population(1).

Population demographics help scientists predict how populations will change over time and affect other organisms (Belk, Borden-Maier, 2010). A “population size” gives the numbers of organisms in a population, and a “population density” reveals the numbers of organisms per area of land in an ecosystem. The rate at which population grows and shrinks is measured, however, in trees are tagged also Americans have a census. Both are methods to quantify also study a population. Births, deaths,

The census can be defined as the scientific method of collecting data as records for the government or state use for the proper control of public properties. However, what completely alters the whole process is its highly comparative analytical stance adopted which inserts in elements of difference. The census is a crucial political instrument for good governance in the proper administration and organization of data collection of the population. It functions as a tool of differentiation and recognition in its attempt of grouping and segmenting the population/citizens. Therefore,

Every society has their own laws and the consequences for those laws. In this paper, there will be examples of laws in the Igbo society of Nigeria.
