I am trying to use the Censo Ejidal 2001 and 2007 to know the distribution of land by sex in Oaxaca. I have already worked with the data and I have an important number of municipalities (42) without any information about their ejidatarios or comuneros in both years. I have checked that these municipalities do have ejidos and communities by using other sources…So if anyone have information about it, it would be really helpful.
Which methods and techniques I can use for comparing two neighbourhoods on the basis of satisfaction of residents and facilities provided?
I would like to find data on Haitian asylum seekers who received temporary protected status (TPS). I am mainly interested in data that has followed them for a period of time after the receipt of this stay or until they left the United States. The data should include relevant socio-demographic and family information.
thank you for your help beforehand.
I would like to discuss the concepts of five human senses, ROS, sensory spectrum, demographic factors and recreation experience preferences
I have data from two samples (community and clinical/service sample) of adolescents who completed psychological evaluations, and I would like to: (1) determine how well the instrument used for these evaluations is able to discriminate between these two samples.(2) to use the ROC analyses to determine the optimum cut-off for differentiating between the community and clinical/service sample. The dataset has 2 other variables: gender and age. Is this information enough to carry out ROC analysis? I attempted this analysis in stata and the AUCs (ranging from 0.518-0.578), seems to indicate that the performance of the scale was nothing more than chance. I am not sure but I assumed for the purpose of my analysis that the community sample is the negative sample( i.e. most likely to be without mental difficulties) and the clinical/service sample is the positive sample (i.e. most likely to be with mental difficulties). Is that correct? I would be grateful for any guidance on how to implement this model in stata and general advice on model testing.
I am trying to normalize data on a cognitive screening test in low educated individuals (mean education is 8 years), their performance on cognitive test is highly associated with education. I tried with the methodology from the Mayo clinic (MOANS study) but probably it is not the most appropiate since first stratification is done by age and then a correction for years of education is applied. In the case of my sample I think it is better to stratify by education and then correct by age but I am not sure how to do that or if there is a known methodology. All comments are welcomed! Thanks in advance!
In fact in most cases, and although on a different scale, the reasons why people migrate and the consequences of such movments, are the same regardless from the spatial context where the movment occur

What are the parameters we have to include to get complete demography of certain population? Is there is any standard for conducting the same?
I have Bolivian census data for 2001 and 2012. There are noted discrepancies between the two, particularly the significant drop (as % of total) for "indigenous" population between the two. However, the data for 2012 seems to be on the basis of the total, but the 2001 data seems to be only on the basis of those who answered the question (in 2001 "non-indigenous" was an option, in 2012 it was not). Taken together, this suggests that the 2001 data significantly *overcounted* the share of indigenous population. However, I'm not a demographer. Any advice on how to proceed with using this data?
The discrepancy is large. If only looking at those who answered the question, then in 2001 the indigenous population was about 62% and dropped to about 40% in 2012 (which was calculated using the "didn't answer" figure). But if we use the "no answer" data from 2001, then the indigenous population in Bolivia dropped to 38% (a number closer to the 2012 figure). But does this mean that everyone has been overestimating the share of indigenous population for Bolivia for the past decade?
I'm after some international examples of legislation or Government policy positions which inhibit or create barriers to increasing urban residential density
Can anyone point me to a publication or detail the difference between data that has been age-standardised using direct standardisation where the data is standardised to the total Australian population of a given year, and data that has been age and sex standardised. I would have assumed that data that has been standardised to the total population was age and sex standardised and thus allowed comparisons by sex?
For example, we have our reports here http://gsociology.icaap.org/reports.html anyone else have reports like this, or know where we can publish these reports?
My research is micro credit (Independent variable) and women empowerment (dependent variable). Demographic variable are age, education, experience and family members etc.
