183. 'I'abu La.ti.ona 13, 14 and 15 furnish a stati.ctical inventory of a nation's m=poi<er ana. its utilization.that is of inestimable value as an aid in formulating economic policy and planning developmental programmes. Such uata play an essential pdrt in analyses of national product ill1d national income. Studies of the proportion of the

economically active population in each industrial sector of the economy and of the shifts from one sector to another give information on the level and trend of industrialization and on im~ortant aspects of the country's potential for economic development. Studies of migration from rural areas to cities re~uire analysis of the occupational and industrial structure of m=power in the cities ill1d often of the major areaS of out-migration, as ill1 aid to assessment of economic aspects of internal migr&tion, Studies of these types are also relevant to programmes of resettlement ,and to the formulation of policy with respect to interllal rn:'-gration. Also, decisions as to possible sites for industrial establishments r-equ.i.r e information on the occupational and industrial stl~,ctur3 of the labour force in various lOcalities and regions of tlie country,

184. In p.l.ann i.n s, for the cLeveloyrnent and ex....ansi on of an educational system and effici.ent utilization of manpo wer- resources, studies are needed "hich assess re~uirements of labour in different industries and occupations.

185. The cross-classifications of occupation and of industry with

status (as employer, employee, etc.) give indications of the occupations and industries in which par-t acu l ar status Groul)s, such as own-account workers and unpaid family workers, are employed, therefore making it possible, for eX&Jple, to analyse the effect of the inclusion of unpaid family worKers on the industrial distribution 01' the labour force.

This is especially importill1t because of the likelihool of significant variations in th8 clefinitlons of unpaid 'family 1lorkers and in the

This tabulation furnishes material for the oomparison of the present eduoational equipment of the population with the present and antioipated future requirements of educated manpower for various types of economic actiVities. Such a oomparison may serve as a guide both to national policy for the development of the educational system and to the planning of eoono~~c development programmes that it would be feasible to oarry out in view of manpower requirements. The tabulation also makes it

possible to oompute the "index of eduoational attainment", Le., the median number of years of formal schooling oompleted by the population 25 years of age and over, whioh is a valuable supplementary indicator of national levels of living. Tabulation 18 gives comparable data for the population under 25'years ct'-age;"

Tabulation 18. Population •••• to 24 years of age by school attendance, educational attainment, age a~ sex.

194.

Data on the educational attainment of the schocl-age population are not meaningful unless theya,re cross-classified by school attendance.

With this crosB-classification, they are exceedingly valuable for analysing the effioienoy of the educational system with reference to the extent

of retardation cr promotion of pupils through the successive school grades, while the same data for school-age children not attending school, provide an indication of the frequency with which children drop out of school before completing certain standards. The cross-classification of the two characteristics also provides an indication of the likelihood that persons with a particular educational a~tairunent will continue their formal eduoation.

195.

The usefulness of the data can be increased if ages are tabulated in single years. Because, however, the single-year categories will produce an extremely large tabulation and because a separate tabulation of school attendance by single years of age is also recommended (Tabula-tion

19),

classification by five-year age groups is considered satisfactory.

196.

The combination of data on school attendance and educational attain-ment yields information all net att.cndarice in schools at each level. This

makes possible the approximate computation of several indicators of levels of living, including (a) yot~l school enrolment ratio, whiCh is the total enrolment in all schools bO)_01J t.h-s third level as a percentage ratio to the population aged

5-19

inclusive, (b) primary school enrolment ratio, which is the total enrolment in schools at the first level as a percent-age ratio to the population percent-aged 5-14 inclusive, (c) secondary school enrolment ratio, which is the total enrolment in all schools at the second level as a percentage ratio to the population aged 15-19 years inclusive, and (d) higher education enrolment ratio, which is the total enrolment in all schools at the third level per 100,000 population.

The olassification of yoUng persons attending and not attending sohool, by single years of age and sex, is essential for studies of 'the numerical relationship between the population of sohoolage arid the'popula-tion aotually in school. Tne proportion of the school age population

Tabulation 20. Female population aged ••• years of age and over, by age and number of children born alive.

199.

c cAlthough oensus data on fertility cannot serve as a substitute for reliable birth-registration statistics, they are particularly valuable for countries where birth-registration statistics are lacking or deficient, because they can be used to estimate current age-specific fertility rates and the crude incidence of births in the total population.

In addition, they are useful as a supplement to satisfactory registration data because they provide a summary of the fertility experience of the female population.

200. The principal measures of fertility which can be derived from this tabulation are (a) the gross fertility ratio (average number of children born alive to women of child-bearing age and over), (b) the average number of children born alive to women who have reached the end of the child-bearing period (i.e., 50 years and over), (c) the proportion of women who have had no children by the end of their reproductive life,

(d) the average number of children born per woman who has already borne at least one child and (e) cumulative average gross fertility ratios by age groups.

201. The data also provide the base for the computation of birth rates specific for parity. The use of information from a series of censuses makes it possible to identify cohorts of women and to study their repro-ductive patterns as they advance from one age group to another.

202. The choice of the minimum age for the investigation of fer~ili~y

is left to individual countries but, if fertility data are recorded for women aged under 15 years, the tabulation should be divided at

15 years in order to maintain international comparability. The same suggestion applies to Tabulations 21, 24 and 26 below.
