Village Statistics 1945
for the urban and rural population of each religion)
were compiled for the period 1938-44 on the basis of
the figures of births and deaths in those years, and
of the current estimates of population in the same
year. Calculations were made of the ratios existing
between the natality and mortality of the sub-district
populations of each religion and the natality and mor-
tality of the corresponding population in the whole
of Palestine.
ii. Indices of fertility and of child mortality for each
religion and sub-district were calculated, by a method
wholly independent of the population estimates and
based on vital statistics.
iii. The indices obtained from (i) above and from (it)
revealed systematic differences. In many instances it
was possible to find reliable evidence that these dif-
ferences were due to under-estimates or over-estimates
of the population figures used in the calculation of
the indices obtained as in sub-para. (1). These figures
were therefore corrected. Data compiled by the Food
Controller were also used for comparison, account
being taken of the fact that in certain sub-districts,
and in particular, in non-pointed areas, the figures
were considerably exaggerated.
For the Jewish population, data compiled by the
Statistical Department of the Jewish Agency have also
been employed for further correction of the estimates
of the population by sub-district.
(c) The general framework of the population estimates accord-
ing to religion, sub-district, rural and urban areas being
completed, the allocation of population to individual local-
ities was obtained as follows: For each locality a sheet
was prepared showing the population figures as at the
Census of 1931, the estimates for “Village Statistics’ at
the end of 1942, the estimates of the Food Controller for
the end of 1942 and 1944, and the estimates of the Jewish
Agency at various dates. On the basis of a detailed com-
parison of all the figures available, a provisional estimate
was reached for each locality. This estimate was finally
corrected to adjust the total of the estimates for each local-
ity of the sub-district to the estimate already reached for
