Question

Based on two census data, migration can be directly estimated as ...

The correct answer is
$(P2 - P1) + (B - D)$

Migration Estimation Using Census Data

To estimate migration using census data, we analyze changes in population and demographic factors like births and deaths.

Population Components

  • Let $P1$ represent the population size at the first census.
  • Let $P2$ represent the population size at the second census.
  • Let $B$ represent the total number of births during the period between the two censuses.
  • Let $D$ represent the total number of deaths during the period between the two censuses.

Migration Estimation Formula

The change in population over a period is influenced by natural increase (births minus deaths) and net migration. The observed population change is calculated as $(P2 - P1)$. The natural increase is calculated as $(B - D)$.

Based on the provided options, migration can be directly estimated by combining the population change and the natural increase:

Migration Estimation = $(P2 - P1) + (B - D)$

Conclusion

This formula estimates migration by considering the overall population change $(P2 - P1)$ and the natural population increase $(B - D)$.
