Title: Reconstruction of Birth Histories From the 1910 Integrated Public Use Microdata Sample

Citation Type: Conference Paper

Publication Year: 2018

Abstract: This poster shows the results of applying Luther and Cho's (1988) method of reconstructing birth histories to women in the 1910 IPUMS sample. The age/birth year of missing own-children -- resulting either from the child’s mortality or departure from the household -- are imputed using a probabilistic process together with each woman's partial birth history, number of children ever born, number of children surviving, and number of own children currently living in the household. The resulting imputed full birth histories are then used to calculate birth intervals and parity progression ratios and to model stopping and spacing behaviors in the middle of the fertility transition.
