The Conference on Demography of Incomplete Data: Own Children
Methodology, Past and Present was organized by the Northeast Asia
Economic Forum (NEAEF) in collaboration with the East-West Center
and the College of Social Sciences of the University of Hawai‘i
at Mānoa, in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, on 2 July 2018, in view of
continuing and expanding activities in the use of the methodology
in new areas such as the European countries as well as in
historical demography. The own-children methodology for estimating
fertility has a long history going back to the 1960s and has been
applied in an increasing number of countries and areas globally for
which the census and survey data are available. In assessing the
methodological paper "The Own-Children Approach to Fertility
Estimation: An Elaboration," by Lee-Jay Cho, the United Nations
Manual X: Indirect Techniques for Demographic Estimation stated
that "probably the greatest innovation introduced by the proponents
of the own-children method is the exploitation of seldom-used
census information for fertility estimation purposes." In the
course of the numerous applications beginning with the United
States for the countries of East and Southeast Asia and the
Pacific, such as Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia, the
own-children method was extended, improved, and elaborated by
demographers at the East-West Population Institute (EWPI), and in
1987 resulted in the publication of a long-enduring volume The
Own-Children Method of Fertility Estimation by Lee-Jay Cho, Robert
Retherford, and Minja Choe. Subsequent methodological extensions
and refinements were made possible with Norman Luther and others.
The Conference highlighted historical background, expanding
applications, and most recent developments in the own-children
methodology, and at the same time celebrated the success and
sustainability of the methodology achieved by the contributions of
those dedicated demographers cited in this proceedings volume.
