Honduras, a small country having only 2.66 million people in 1974, experienced a marked decline in mortality from 1950-74. This fact, plus the wealth of various types of demographic data available, make Honduras an ideal subject for this case study, one of a series of national population studies, of changes in mortality, fertility, and population growth during the period 1950-74. Estimated fertility rates were gleaned from birth registers and the age structure of the population and were adjusted to account for inflated registration of births and underregistration in the 1974 census. Comparison of the resulting fertility estimates for each year from 1951 to 1974 shows fertility rising from 6.74% in 1951 to a peak of 7.75% in the early 1960's and then declining somewhat in the mid-1970's. Despite possible inaccuracies, primarily due to increasingly complete enumeration from 1945 to 1961 followed by a less complete enumeration in 1974, it is clear that fertility is very high and has been high -- approximately 50 per 1,000 -- since the early 1950's. Useful information on mortality is scarce since the registration of deaths was not consistent throughout this period. Stable population an

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
