Recent estimates of adult mortality from widowhood in Bangladesh: a critical comparison.
"The indirect techniques of demographic estimation available at the moment are often inadequate to estimate levels in the presence of trends. The generalised stable population relations have been applied to census and survey data collected in Bangladesh for the estimation of adult mortality. This method combines two sets of widowhood data and yields estimates for the intersurvey period. The generalised stable population relations are based on the assumption that the population is closed to migration between the censuses. The application of the method is simple whatever may be the length of the inter survey period. But the method may be found to be affected by age misreporting and other errors."
