Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book analyzes the results of the 1900 United States' census, focusing on the reliability of age-related statistics. It compares the 1900 data with that from the 1880 and 1890 censuses. The author notes several key inaccuracies: an under-reporting of very young children, and a tendency for people to report ages that are rounded numbers, especially multiples of five. The author discovers that these inaccuracies are most pronounced among non-native populations and people with lower literacy rates. The book explores these errors and the potential biases they introduce. The text further probes age-related population trends like median age, and the effects of immigration on the US population's age structure. By meticulously analyzing these historical age statistics, the book offers valuable insights into the complexities of demography and the social factors that shape it, making it an important reference for scholars and policy makers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
