▼ The challenge in estimating mortality, both at national and sub-national levels, in developing countries such as South Africa is that neither of the death data sources (vital registration and census) are one hundred percent complete, that is, vital registration data is prone to incompleteness and deaths reported by household are subject to over- or under-reporting which may vary by age. Also, apart from issues with data sources, there is no method that estimates mortality accurately at subnational level and the methods for estimating the level of completeness of reporting of deaths cannot be applied at subnational level (due to issues with migration). Thus, measuring mortality rates at subnational level is a challenge. This research seeks to employ a method used by Dorrington, Moultrie and Timæus (2004) that makes use of both data sources in combination so as to overcome the weakness and makes use of the strength of each data source. To estimate the level of completeness in the year prior to the 2011 Census (to correct the number of deaths registered), first, the Death Distribution Methods (Synthetic Extinct Generations +delta and General Growth Balance method) are used to estimate the level of completeness of the vital registration deaths for the intercensal period 2001-2011 by population group. Thereafter, the level of completeness for each of the years in the intercensal period is estimated by fitting a logistic curve to the level of completeness for the intercensal period of 1996-2001 and 2001-2011 (derived by both Chinogurei (2017) and Richman (2017)). Thus, the number of deaths registered in the year prior to the 2011 census are then corrected for either under- or over-reporting using the estimates of completeness to obtain the true number of deaths by population group and age group for each sex. The corrected true numbers of registered deaths are then used to determine the age-specific correction factors by population group for correcting the household reported deaths at district level and thereafter estimates of mortality at district level are determined. Comparison of estimates derived in this study to estimates by other studies indicated that the method produces plausible estimates at district level, thus, findings in this research strengthens the reasonability of the method.

▼ This study examines the trends and socio-demographic determinants of adolescent fertility in Zimbabwe. The study uses all six ZDHS surveys that have been conducted for Zimbabwe between 1988 and 2015. Adolescent fertility trends were examined using age-period and cohort-period fertility estimates. The Poisson regression model and the tfr2 module developed by Schoumaker (2013) are used to calculate age-period fertility estimates (ASFRS). Cohort- period fertility rates (CPFRs) were calculated using a method developed by Moultrie, Dorrington, Hill et al. (2013b). ASFRs and CPFRs trends were constructed for the 15 year prior to each ZDHS survey. The trends in both the ASFRS and CPFRs showed that total fertility and 5-year fertility levels above the age of 20 years has significantly declined from the late 1980’s to the mid to around 2010 and since 2010 the fertility levels in these age groups have remained almost constant. However, fertility levels in the 15-19 years age group have been fluctuating around 110 births per 1000 women with no sign of a declining trend since around 1985. The second part of the analysis investigated the socio-demographic factors that have been influencing adolescent fertility in Zimbabwe. Two multiple logistic regression models based on the McDevitt, Adlakha, Fowler et al. (1996) model of proximate determinants of adolescence fertility were used to examine the association between eight socio-demographic factors and adolescent fertility. Results of logistic regression analysis revealed that a significant association exists between adolescent fertility and use of contraception, age at first sex, age of the respondent, marital status, highest level of education attended and employment status at the time of the survey. The odds of giving birth prior to each survey were higher among adolescents who had ever used contraception, initiated sexual activities at a very young age, older adolescents, were married, with low level of education ever attended and those who were unemployed at the time of the survey. This study concluded that adolescent (15-19 years) fertility rates have remained high despite a decrease in all the other age specific and total fertility rates. There is need to introduce and evaluate existing policies and programs that focus on improving socio-economic conditions of adolescents women in Zimbabwe.

▼ The production of mid-year population estimates is an important undertaking which informs various stakeholders in policy formation and decision making. For instance, national governments use mid-year estimates to allocate seats in parliament to various constituents and public health sectors use them to monitor and improve service delivery. Mid-year population estimates undoubtedly serve very important purposes that affect lives of many people. As such, national statistical offices in various countries are given the mandate to produce annual mid-year population estimates. Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) assumes the function of producing and publishing official mid-year estimates of the population in South Africa. Stats SA produces its mid-year estimates using DemProj, population projection software which is part of the SPECTRUM suite of policy models developed by the Futures Institute. However, Stats SA does not publish full details of its adaptation of DemProj when producing its mid-year estimates as it regards this as proprietary. Concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the official mid-year estimates in terms of age distribution, particularly for ages below 40 last birthday in 2011 (e.g. Dorrington 2013). As such, this research critically analyses the method used by Stats SA to produce mid-year estimates and assesses the feasibility of using administrative data to produce mid-year estimates for South Africa. The base population is adapted from the 2001 census population. Birth and death registration data are used in a cohort component approach to produce alternative mid-year estimates for South Africa for the years 2002-2011. Prior to using these data, they are adjusted for incompleteness of registration. Levels of completeness of birth and death registration are estimated by extrapolating earlier estimates of completeness from various researchers. The mid-year estimates obtained are compared with those published by Stats SA in order to assess the relative quality of the two series of mid-year estimates. The mid-year estimates for 2011 are also compared with the mid-year population estimated from the 2011 census. These comparisons help identify the mismatches to the census and their possible causes and as such, these may lead to improved population estimates in the future, and a viable alternative method to that currently being used by Stats SA. Advisors/Committee Members: Dorrington, Rob (advisor).

▼ Zimbabwean-born migrants form the largest proportion of the foreign-born population in South Africa; however, relatively little is known about both the international and internal migration behaviour of this population group. This study reviews several migration theories, and existing evidence on Zimbabwean-born migration to South Africa and uses the 2011 Census and 2016 Community Survey data for South Africa to explore both provincial and metropolitan migration patterns of Zimbabwean migrants. The study also seeks to identify characteristics of migrant internal movers and how these are associated with their propensity to migrate. To accomplish this, two modelling approaches are used, namely: the multiplicative component model (TODA) and the logistic regression model. The first modelling approach describes the origin-destination specific migration patterns of this group of migrants. The results from this analytic model show that Zimbabwean migrants are concentrated in three provinces, namely, Gauteng, Western Cape, and Limpopo; particularly in respective metropolitan areas. Also, post-arrival migration is largely focused on these major receiving provinces. The findings suggest that this pattern of concentration is likely to continue. The second modelling approach examines the inter-provincial migration of Zimbabwean migrants. At the aggregate level, the study results show a degree of selectivity of Zimbabwean immigration by factors such as age, sex, marital status, and education. Also, the results show that post-immigration migration is not necessarily significant to migrants’ redistribution. However, for those who move, the logistic regression analysis reveals that province of residence, age, marital status, and sex significantly impact on migrants’ propensity to move from “pioneer settlements” and their effects are consistent over time. Finally, despite concerns about the quality of the data collected in the 2011 census and 2016 Community Survey, our results show that there is general consistency of migration 'patterns’ between the two datasets.

▼ Background. Even though the United Nations (UN) is the leading agency that systematically and consistently provides population forecasts, the accuracy of the UN forecasts at the country level is unclear. It is a well known fact that there is large gap between urban areas and rural areas in both fertility and mortality levels in developing countries, which makes the population heterogeneous by rural/urban residence. Rapid urbanization has been taking place in almost all developing countries in past few decades, which changes the composition of the population by residence, and consequently affects the national fertility and mortality levels. The cohort-component method the UN used for its forecasts does not explicitly take urbanization into account. This dissertation aims: (1) To evaluate the accuracy of the UN past population forecasts at the country level; (2) To explore how urbanization affects accuracy in national population size forecasts. Method. The UN forecasts between 1968 and 1998 were included in the study, and 176 countries with all the forecasts were analyzed. The estimates in the 2008 UN forecast were taken as the "true" values for the evaluation. Six measures for forecast accuracy were defined and calculated for individual countries. The mean errors averaged across forecast rounds were calculated for each individual country to evaluate forecast accuracy at the country level. The mean errors averaged across countries were calculated for each forecast round to evaluate forecast accuracy at forecast level. Age-Period-Cohort cross-classified models were used to evaluate whether forecast accuracy has improved over time and to test whether urbanization speed was significantly associated with forecast errors. Simulation studies were conducted to compare forecast accuracy between the standard cohort-component method, stratified forecast method and multistate forecast method. Results. The forecast errors were pretty large in some countries, and both over-estimation and under-estimation existed. Absolute forecast errors were almost linearly increasing with forecast duration in all 12 forecast rounds. The mean percent errors and mean adjusted percent errors were positive for all 12 forecast rounds, and the population and population growth rate were on average over-estimated in the UN forecasts. Between the 1968 and 1998 forecasts, there was an overall decreasing trend in the errors in national population size, TFR and life expectancy at birth forecasts, but no significant improvement in forecasting population growth rate and paces of changes of TFR and life expectancy at birth forecasts. Urbanization speed was positively associated with errors in national population size forecasts and population growth rate forecasts, adjusting for other factors. The standard cohort-component forecast method over-estimated the population size compared to the stratified and the multistate forecast methods when there was internal migration. Conclusion. The UN forecasts have…

▼ In this dissertation, we propose the Tangent Vector Field (TVF) model for Japanese mortality projection, which is an extended Linear Difference (LD) model, and show its applications. In the two chapters following the introduction, we describe the mortality trends in Japan and review the mortality projection models for Japan. Then, in the following two chapters, we describe the data and methods for the mortality models, show the results of fitting, and discuss them with special emphasis on the LD model. We describe the mathematical formulations for decline-type and shift-type models, and discuss the inverse function of log mortality and differential forms of mortality models. We discuss five models: two decline-type models (the Proportional Hazard (PH) and Lee-Carter (LC) models), and three shift-type models (the Horizontal Shifting (HS), Horizontal Lee-Carter (HL), and LD models). In particular, we compare the LC and LD models from a statistical viewpoint. The result guides better construction of a mortality projection model, namely, a blended model with LC properties in youth and LD properties in older age. In the last chapter, we propose the TVF model applying the idea of tangent vector fields on the log mortality surface. We show a fully specified example of the projection procedure of the TVF model with all constants and coefficients applied for Japanese mortality projection. Then, we compare the TVF and LC models' results of mortality projection. From the observation of the relative mortality rates, we see that the LC model expresses mortality improvement only in a vertical direction, whereas the TVF model succeeds in expressing a shifting of mortality improvement in the direction of older ages that are observed in the actual mortality. In addition, we compare the projected m_x curves. The m_x by the LC model exhibits an unnatural pattern because the slope of the curve diminishes once around the age of 60 years and becomes much steeper after 80 years. The curve of the TVF model is more plausible. As a whole, we observe that the TVF model has many advantages for Japanese mortality projection compared with the LC model. We show that the TVF model proposed in this dissertation is not only quite useful for Japanese mortality projection but also has various applicability. At this point in time, there may be few countries with such strong shifting features for old age mortality as Japan. However, some countries are likely to experience the same mortality situation as Japan in the future through the extension of life expectancy. Thus, the TVF model will be a useful tool for projections in such situations.

The link between socioeconomic status (SES) and health and mortality has been well-established, but evidence continues to suggest that this relationship begins in early life with parental SES. There is evidence that allostatic load (AL) mediates the relationship between SES and mortality, and SES is inversely associated with AL across the life course (Seeman et al. 2004; Seeman et al. 2008; Hawkley et al. 2011; Evans & Kim, 2012). Existing longitudinal studies using biologically objective health outcomes are limited, and this study incorporates measures of both perceived stress and the body's physiological response to stress, observed over time, in older adults. Using the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP), this dissertation aims to fill gaps in the literature by exploring the associations between socioeconomic status across the life course, allostatic load, and mortality. I examine 1) how SES in childhood affects SES, perceived stress, and allostatic load in older adults; 2) how childhood SES affects change in allostatic load over 5 years; and 3) if childhood SES indirectly impacts mortality risk through SES and stress in late adulthood. Results add to existing findings by showing significant relationships between SES and mortality in late adulthood, with allostatic load and perceived stress partially explaining this relationship. Results also contribute to the field showing an indirect relationship between childhood SES and allostatic load in late life. Individuals who grew up in low SES households show significantly higher allostatic load scores in late adulthood. This association is mediated mostly by educational attainment, but wealth also plays a role. This study also provides two examples for studying allostatic load across two time points, and results show that childhood SES affects allostatic load change in a similar manner to a singular measure. The findings highlight the importance of the association between childhood SES and adult educational attainment, as the effects carry over into many adult outcomes.

▼

In recent decades, the influence of negative health behaviors on physical health and mortality has garnered a great deal of attention (Institute of Medicine 2001). Research suggests that these negative health behaviors, such as smoking, binge drinking, and lack of exercise, are leading preventable causes of morbidity and early mortality in the U.S. (Institute of Medicine 2001). Yet, little research has explored whether there are differential impacts of risky health behaviors on health outcomes by social groups such as race/ethnicity. Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2003-2008, linked with the National Death Index, My dissertation focuses on filling existing gaps in the literature by exploring the associations between health behaviors, physiological distress, and mortality and how these associations vary by race and ethnicity in the U.S. I examine 1) how these relationships (health behaviors, physiological dysregulation, death) vary by race/ethnicity; 2) the role health behaviors play in the relationship between physiological dysregulation and mortality as well as how this role varies by race/ethnicity and; 3) investigate how the individual items (biomarkers) that make up the physiological dysregulation measure can be grouped by behaviors and race/ethnicity in a way that further elucidates the previously mentioned relationships. First, negative binomial regressions show a differential relationship between negative health behaviors and physiological dysregulation by race/ethnicity. Namely, Whites experience a significantly higher detrimental impact of negative health behaviors on their physiological dysregulation than do Blacks, and to a lesser extent Mexican Americans. Yet, running Cox Proportional Hazards models on the risk of mortality reveals no racial/ethnic differentials in the impact of health behaviors on mortality. The latent class analysis of the biomarker indicators is then used to further parse out why there is a difference in the racial/ethnic variations in the relationship between poor health behaviors and physiological distress but not mortality. These findings suggest that respondents' biomarkers do cluster into healthy, cardiovascular, metabolic, and inflammatory groups. The cardiovascular group is defined by higher proportion of minorities, particularly Blacks, as well as a stronger relationship with negative health behaviors. The group is also the most likely to experience mortality. The already high likelihood of minorities having high cardiovascular risk may explain why there is a weaker relationship between physiological dysregulation and risky health behaviors. This research could extend information on the consequences of risky health behaviors as well as inform public policy on the importance of considering social differentials when addressing health behavior risk.
