AFRICAN-AMERICAN IMMIGRATION AND MORTALITY

这个项目将分析数据从手稿记录的名册 1820年至1843年利比里亚的非裔美国移民;手稿 1843年利比里亚移民人口普查记录; 几次帕尔马斯角移民人口普查的手稿记录 人口 未对死亡率经验进行系统的人口统计学研究 这些数据使许多人 死亡率分析中的问题将在一个有据可查的 死亡率极高的环境。 建议工作1） 提供一个公共使用的磁带， 他们在1820年到1843年间定居在利比里亚， 1843年居住在利比里亚的定居者及其后裔，2） * 说明利比里亚人口的死亡情况， 1820年和1843年，并将其与其他移民和非移民进行比较 （3）利用利比里亚的死亡率经验， 将模型生命表系统扩展到非常高的死亡率水平，4）测试 关于被认为影响两种因素的具体假设 利比里亚非洲裔美国人的死亡率和健康状况。

This project will analyze data from manuscript records of a roll listing African-American immigrants to Liberia between 1820 and 1843; manuscript records of the 1843 Census of the Liberian Immigrant Population; and manuscript records of several censuses of the Cape Palmas immigrant Population. No systematic demographic study of the mortality experience of this population has been undertaken and these data allow a number of issues in mortality analysis to be investigated in a well-documented setting of extraordinarily high mortality. Proposed work will 1) provide a public use tape that contains data on the African-Americans who settled in Liberia between 1820 and 1843, and on 2400 of these settlers and their descendants who were living in Liberia in 1843, 2) describe the mortality conditions of the Liberian population between 1820 and 1843 and compare them to other migrant and non-migrant populations at the time, 3) use the Liberian mortality experience to extend model life table systems to very high mortality levels, 4) test specific hypotheses about factors believed to be affecting both the mortality rates and health status of African-Americans in Liberia.
