[An adjustment to the age structure of the Italian population in the 1971 census].
"Having verified, in the 1971 [Italian] census, the presence of certain anomalous data for cohorts born in 1900, 1911, 1920, 1924, 1930, 1936, 1940, 1948, 1950 and 1960, we assessed the size of the error and estimated the new population total which emerged both by age and year of birth.  The method used [is similar] to more classical methods to correct biases in age structure in previous censuses and in those countries where the data available are somewhat lacking.  The adjusted values, referring to Italy as a whole, are contained in the text...." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
