title: Estimation of fertility in Indonesia 1980 from last live birth data.
abstract: A method of estimating current fertility from information on last live births is presented.  The technique is developed from one proposed by Hull for estimating fertility rates for Indonesia using 1976 intercensal survey data and does not depend on conditions of stable fertility or on assumptions about past mortality.  "The estimates of [the] total fertility rate for Indonesia 1980 are 4.40, 3.87 and 4.28 for the rural, urban and the total areas respectively, and compare well with the estimates derived by the 'Own Children' method."  A comment by Aris Ananta (pp. 49-53) is included.  (summary in IND)
