Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references. / The objective of this study is to assess how well the projected parity progression ratio method works when applied to two successive censuses or Demographic Health Surveys. Four countries, namely Malawi, Zimbabwe, Cambodia and Panama, each with two recent censuses which are ten years apart, are used. Each of the census and survey used is taken through a data quality assessment process to check for inconsistencies. Using age-order specific fertility rates derived from births in the past year, parity progression ratios are projected to the next census.
