"An own-child analysis is applied to the household composition data of two rounds of the U.K. Labour Force Survey, each of which has a sample size of about 200 thousand people. Period parity progression ratios and the corresponding total fertility measure (TFPPR) are derived for up to twenty years before the survey date. The biases that arise when using such a source are discussed and assessed by replication using surveys in different years. Methods for correcting bias are developed. Analysis of the standard errors of the measures suggests that such sources provide the most precise, routine and timely indicators of period fertility in many situations...."
对英国劳动力调查两轮的家庭构成数据进行了亲生子女分析，每轮调查的样本量约为20万人。得出了调查日期前长达20年的时期生育递进比及相应的总和生育率指标（TFPPR）。通过使用不同年份的调查进行复制，讨论并评估了使用此类数据来源时出现的偏差。开发了偏差校正方法。对这些指标标准误差的分析表明，在许多情况下，此类数据来源提供了关于时期生育率最精确、常规且及时的指标……
