Tabutin Dominique. — Fertility and mortality in African censuses over the last 25 years. In this article the frequency and type of questions asked about fertility and mortality in 25 African censuses taken since 1956 are studied. An increase in so-called « indirect » questions is noted : total number of children born or surviving. However, since 1970, direct questions on births and deaths which has occurred during the previous twelve months have also been used. Increasingly, both types of questions are put. Although these is no shortage of techniques to process the information thus gathered, these have practically no « methodological results » i.e. observations which make it possible to validate these techniques. The results thus remain subject to uncertainties in most cases.

Abstract

Tabutin Dominique. — Fertility and mortality in African censuses over the last 25 years. In this article the frequency and type of

questions asked about fertility and mortality in 25 African censuses taken since 1956 are studied. An increase in so-called «

indirect » questions is noted : total number of children born or surviving. However, since 1970, direct questions on births and

deaths which has occurred during the previous twelve months have also been used. Increasingly, both types of questions are put.

Although these is no shortage of techniques to process the information thus gathered, these have practically no « methodological

results » i.e. observations which make it possible to validate these techniques. The results thus remain subject to uncertainties in

most cases.
