Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines the date of birth and explains the principles and methods involved in calculating birth numbers. Yang also explains why and how accuracy of the birth numbers in the period from 1960 to 1962 is affected by under-registration and late-registration of birth and proceeds to make adjustment to the birth numbers based on his study on the under-registration and late-registration as rectification.
