Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proportion of the Sexes in the United States Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith Bulletin 14 of the bureau of the Census, presenting a discussion of the "Proportion of the Sexes in the United States." The derivative tables it contains have been prepared under the supervision of Professor Walter F. Willcox, of Cornell University, special agent of the Census Bureau, and he has written the accompanying text. Certain conclusions reached herein are of much scientific and practical importance. Thus it is shown that, notwithstanding the great excess of males in the United States as a whole, the cities of the country contain a marked and increasing excess of females; that the reported excess of females at ages of 16 to 25 is probably illusory and due to a preference for that age period on the part of women, which leads to erroneous returns in enough cases to produce this result; that the reported excess of females at ages above 83 is probably due in the main to, and an evidence of, their greater average length of life; that some thousand foreign born Chinese were erroneously reported as natives of the United States, probably in the desire to avoid the stringent provisions of the exclusion law; that school attendance is increasing more rapidly among girls than among boys, and that the difference is most marked above the age of 15, at which age more than half the youth in school now are young women, while in 1890 more than half were young men; that the death rate of males in the registration area (19.0 per thousand) is about one-seventh greater than that of females (16.6 per thousand); and that this difference between the sexes, which is almost or quite absent between 10 and 20 years of age, is greatest in infancy and old age.
