Creating a sense of 'closure': Providing confidence intervals on some recent estimates of Indigenous populations
Discussion Paper 244 / 2003
Abstract:
The 'error of closure' is the population growth that cannot be accounted for either by natural increase or by quantifiable non-demographic factors. The term is somewhat misleading: since it incorporates all unquantifiable components of the increase in a population count, it is unlikely ever to be 'closed'.
