Sample surveys have been used to a limited extent in nat'l pop programs in Pakistan & elsewhere. They have much potential in clarifying public att's, in measuring fertility rates, in determining use & use-effectiveness of specific contraceptive measures, in studying knowledge & att's of key groups, & in evaluating programs. However, skilled people & org's capable of carrying out such surveys are very limited in developing countries. The need & importance of including such technology in foreign aid in pop control is emphasized. AA.

From the preface: This book presents data on mortality from recorded causes of death in 180 populations, with detail provided on age and sex. This volume should reduce substantially problems of data availability by providing information on mortality experience spanning a period of 103 years, for 48 nations, and encompassing a range of life expectancies from 27 to 77. The data will assist the social scientist in documenting such matters as the sources of the vital revolution, causes of increasing sex mortality differentials, components of age curves of mortality, geographic and temporal variations in mortality structure, and economic and social costs of a disease.
