Summary
Algeria
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Sociology
- Development Studies
Background:
- The 1977 Algerian population census provides extensive data.
- Data are available at both household and individual levels.
- Census data are valuable for understanding societal structures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the data from the 1977 Algerian population census.
- To demonstrate the utility of census data for Third World studies.
- To highlight the detailed information available from household and individual records.
Main Methods:
- Review of 1977 Algerian population census data.
- Tabulation of data at household and individual levels.
- Case study analysis of two villages: a "centre de regroupement" and an agrarian reform village.
Main Results:
- The census offers a wide range of demographic and socio-economic information.
- Detailed analysis is possible for specific community types.
- The data can illuminate living conditions and social organization.
Conclusions:
- Algerian census documents are a rich resource for social science research.
- The data's granularity supports in-depth analysis of development contexts.
- These findings underscore the potential of census data for comparative Third World studies.

00:57Population Growth
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.However, realistic environmental conditions limit the number of...
01:40Archival Research
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
01:07Data Collection by Survey
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...
01:08Data Collection by Observations
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.

01:26Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter
The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...
01:22Applications of Life Tables
Life tables are versatile across various fields, providing a quantitative basis for analyzing mortality and survival rates. Whether used by demographers, actuaries, epidemiologists, or sociologists, life tables offer valuable insights into the dynamics of life and death, facilitating informed decisions in public health, insurance, conservation, and beyond. Their broad applicability highlights the interconnectedness of demographic data with practical outcomes in everyday life and strategic...
