title: A demographic approach to the evaluation of the 1986 census and the estimates of Canada's population.
abstract: "A significant increase in coverage error in the 1986 [Canadian] Census is revealed by both the Reverse Record Check and the demographic method presented in this paper.  Considerable attention is paid to an evaluation of the various components of population growth, especially interprovincial migration. The paper concludes with an overview of two alternative methods for generating postcensal estimates:  the currently-in-use, census-based model, and a flexible model using all relevant data in combination with the census."
