5.5.6 Use of Demographic Analysis Methods
The use of demographic analysis methods to assess the population data of censuses is
considered one of the common methods for assessing the quality of data. It can assess the data
of age, age structure and sex in the community through estimating certain demographic
measures. The following were conducted:
• Calculating some index numbers to measure the accuracy of age data and preference
of individual age such as: Myers number, Patchi, Wipple and the Secretariat of the
United Nations.
• Calculating the percentages of different age groups.
• Calculating the sex ratio for age groups.
• Calculating the percentage of not stated.
• Examining internal consistency between the relevant variables when extracting the
tables.
This had logical and acceptable results within the standards and recommendations.
