| QFIVE: Microcomputer Program for Child Mortality Estimation |
Has been prepared to accompany the Step-by-step
Guide to the Estimation of Child Mortality. It
produces estimates of infant mortality (the
probability of dying between birth and exact age 1
1q0), child mortality (the probability of dying
between the exact ages 1 and 5, 4q1) and under-five
mortality (the probability of dying between birth
and exact age 5, 5qo) by applying the two versions of
the Brass method presented in the Guide: the
Trussell version, which is based on the Coale-Demeny model life-tables and the Pallloni-Heligman version based on the United Nations
model life-tables for developing countries. QFIVE
can run on an IBM-PC compatible microcomputer
equipped with MS-DOS, version 2.1 or later, and a
random access memory of 300K or more. Available
on one 5.25" diskette.

| PDPM/PC: Population and Development Projection Methods for Microcomputers |
Has been developed by the Population Division to
accompany its manual Projection Methods for
Integrating Population Variables into Development
Planning. All projection techniques presented in the
three Modules of the Manual are available to
microcomputer users through the PDPM/PC
package. PDPM/PC is ideally suited both as a tool in
training courses and for applying a scenario
approach to national policy formation. Because of
PDPM/PC's modular structure, the user may connect
projections made for different sectors. For example,
population projections may be connected to school
enrolment projections. These in turn may provide
input for projecting government expenditure in
education. Several alternative sets of assumptions
(scenarios) can easily be created and the resulting
projections compared.
The projection methods incorporated in PDPM/PC
include: population projections, household
projections, school enrolment projections,
employment projections; income projections,
consumption and savings projections; and
government expenditure projections. Furthermore,
since many of these methods require parameter
estimation, an ordinary least squares (OLS) routine
is built into PDPM/PC. Almost all projection
methods in PDPM/PC can be used with
national-level data or with disaggregated urban/rural
data.
