Overview and Comparison of 84 Databases with Historical Population Longitudinal Micro Data
In the last 65 years several major historical databases with reconstructed life courses of large populations have been launched. Around 1990, we could find two important types of databases with longitudinal micro-data. The first type were event databases aimed on family reconstructions and usually based on baptism, marriage and funeral registers or on civil certificates introduced after 1800. The second type were databases with life courses: persons are observed on a more permanent basis using church examination or population registers. After 1990 a third type, databases with census data, really took off. In first instance in the form of samples, in second instance by entering full count samples which makes it possible to link the several censuses into one system, creating semi-longitudinal databases. Another development was the growth of special purpose samples into semi-longitudinal ones by following sampled persons from one source during their life course through linking with all kind of other sources. The development of these databases is indicative of considerable investments that have greatly expanded the possibilities for new research within the fields of history, demography, sociology, as well as other disciplines. In this paper I will compare 84 of these databases on several key figures like included sources, year of foundation, period of observation, area of observation, sample fraction and number of included observations, families and unique persons. An overview of all databases with all key figures is presented in the Appendix.

The implementation of the registration of interfaith marriages abroad and the Population and Civil Registry Service in Indonesia currently does not exist. However, the Population and Civil Registry Office in Indonesia continues to carry out the registration of interfaith marriages held abroad by carrying out the registration of marriages of different religions through an application to the local District Court for marriage permits for prospective husbands and future wives. The purpose of this study is to determine the position of marriages of interfaith couples held abroad in the legal system in Indonesia and the implementation of registration of interfaith marriages held abroad and at the Population and Civil Registry Office in Indonesia. The study used Normative Juridical research methods. This method was used for research on issues related to the abroad interfaith marriage’s posistion in Indonesia’s law. The materials used as research objects of this approach method use primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The Population and Civil Registry Service in Indonesia continues to carry out the registration of interfaith marriages held abroad by carrying out the registration of marriages of different religions through an application to the local District Court for marriage permits for prospective husbands and future wives with the consequences of various administrative requirements that must be submitted before the District Court grants in accordance with Law Number 23 of 2006 concerning Administration Residency must be registered with the competent authority in the local country and reported to the republic of Indonesia.

BACKGROUNDA key feature of the Generations & Gender Programme (GGP) is that longitudinal micro-data from the Generations and Gender Surveys (GGS) can be combined with indicators from the Contextual Database (CDB) that provide information on the macro-level context in which people live. This allows researchers to consider the impact of socio-cultural, economic, and policy contexts on changing demographic behaviour since the 1970s. The validity of longitudinal analyses combining individual-level and contextual data depends, however, on whether the micro-data give a correct account of demographic trends after 1970.OBJECTIVEThis article provides information on the quality of retrospective longitudinal data on first marriage and fertility in the first wave of the GGS.METHODSUsing the union and fertility histories recorded in the GGS, we compare period indicators of women's nuptiality and fertility behaviour for the period 1970-2005 and cohort indicators of nuptiality and fertility for women born after 1925 to population statistics.RESULTSResults suggest that, in general, period indicators estimated retrospectively from the GGS are fairly accurate from the 1970s onwards, allowing exceptions for specific indicators in specific countries. Cohort indicators, however, were found to be less accurate for cohorts born before 1945, suggesting caution when using the GGS to study patterns of union and family formation in these older cohorts.CONCLUSIONSThe assessment of the validity of demographic data in the GGS provides country-specific information on time periods and birth cohorts for which GGS estimates deviate from population statistics. Researchers may use this information to decide on the observation period or cohorts to include in their analysis, or use the results as a starting point for a more detailed analysis of item nonresponse in union and fertility histories, which may further improve the quality of GGS estimates, particularly for these earlier periods and older birth cohorts.COMMENTSDetailed country-specific results are included in an appendix to this paper, available for download from the additional material section.(ProQuest: ... denotes formulae omitted.)1. IntroductionIn 2000 the Population Activity Unit (PAU) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) launched the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) to enhance understanding of the causes and consequences of demographic change in developed countries (Vikat et al. 2007). International comparability is a key feature of the GGP and several, mainly European, countries have become highly committed to the implementation of the programme. The GGP consists of two pillars. The first pillar is a set of Generations and Gender Surveys (GGS)5. The GGS is a panel survey that collects longitudinal micro-level data on a representative sample of noninstitutionalized residents aged 18 to 79 years in each of the participating countries. The first wave of the GGS collects detailed data on partnership histories and (non-)resident children, making it possible to reconstruct changes in union formation and fertility in recent decades and link these to covariates at the individual, household, and contextual levels. To overcome the limitations associated with the retrospective design of the Fertility and Family Surveys (FFS) - the immediate predecessor of the GGP - the GGS combines elements of a retrospective setup with a prospective panel design (Vikat et al. 2007). The prospective design makes it possible to assess the impact of characteristics recorded in each wave (e.g., values and intentions) on subsequent behaviours, thus contributing to an enhanced understanding of the dynamic nature of demographic behaviour and the life-course. The Contextual Database (CDB)6 (see the contribution of Caporali et al. in this special volume) is the second main pillar of the GGP and provides aggregate indicators at the meso (regional) and macro (national) levels. …

Singkawang is a city home to a majority Chinese-Indonesian population with diverse cultural practices, one of which is the tradition of photo marriage (kawin foto). Within the Chinese-Indonesian community, this practice is often considered sufficient without formally registering the marriage with the Department of Population and Civil Registration. Consequently, the ownership rate of marriage certificates among the Chinese-Indonesian community in Singkawang remains low. This study aims to explore the strategies employed by the Department of Population and Civil Registration to address the low rate of marriage certificate ownership, focusing on the cultural practices and traditions of the Chinese-Indonesian community as objects of the study. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with an inductive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique utilized is the ASOCA framework, which includes Ability, Strength, Opportunity, Culture, and Agility. The findings of this study indicate that 1) the Department of Population and Civil Registration has implemented strategies to encourage marriage registration, which include socialization among the Chinese-Indonesian community regarding marriage registration, building collaborations among institutions as well as vihara (Buddhist temples) or klenteng (Chinese temples), improving public services, providing foreign language training for staff, and offering mobile or on-the-spot services. 2) The challenges identified include: limited public knowledge about marriage registration, the absence of formalized written agreements, the inability of some vihara and klenteng to issue marriage blessing certificates, a shortage of civil servants (ASN) in the Department of Population and Civil Registration, the inactive status of the Dukcapil Online system, and insufficient foreign language skills among staff members. 3) To address these challenges, the Department of Population and Civil Registration has conducted socialization to the community and submitted requests for additional civil servants.

The implementation of Aceh Qanun Number 6 of 2008 Regarding Marriage Registration in Lhoksukon North Aceh, if analyzed based on the theory of legal effectiveness, is considered not maximally effective, even though this qanun has been enforced since 2018 and marriages carried out with wild qadhi . In addition, there are still many couples who submit Isbat Nikah to the Syar'iyah Court cannot prove their marriage at the time of examination in court. Legally, this qanun is very good. From the aspect of law enforcement, it still has weaknesses because the socialization carried out has not had a significant impact on the community, and the infrastructure is considered adequate, but from the aspect of public awareness it is still very low. Qanun Number 6 of 2008 concerning the Implementation of Population Administration relating to the registration of marriages is stated in several articles, namely Article 3, where the purpose of registering marriages is to ensure the legal status of each resident; protection of the rights of the population; ordered population administration; management of population administration information; and guarantee services for the rights of the population. Marriage registration is more firmly and specifically stated in Article 55 and Article 56. Article 55: (1) Every marriage, whether for residents who are Muslim or other religions, must be recorded. (2) Marriage registration for residents who are Muslim as referred to in paragraph (1) is carried out by marriage registrar employees at the District Religious Affairs Office. (3) The registration of marriages for residents of other religions as referred to in paragraph (1) is carried out by officials of the Regency/Municipal Population and Civil Registry Office. (4) The marriage registrar at the District Office of Religious Affairs shall record the marriage on the Marriage Certificate and issue the Marriage Certificate Quotation. (5) The Civil Registration Officer shall record marriages on the Marriage Certificate Registry and issue a Marriage Certificate Quotation. (6) Data on the results of marriage registration must be submitted by the District Office of Religious Affairs to the Regency/Municipal Population and Civil Registry Service within 10 (ten) days after the marriage registration is carried out. Article 56: Marriage registration as referred to in Article 55 also applies to: a) marriages determined by the court/Shari'ah Court; b) marriages of foreign nationals conducted in Aceh at the request of the foreign nationals concerned.

Problems in the household are always related to children. Children are the most significant mandate from Allah SWT. They must be cared for and protected even if they get into legal problems. Marriage registration is a form of legal certainty for children’s rights. Often children do not get the fulfillment of their rights due to the actions of their parents. The rise of unregistered marriages is one of the reasons why the legal certainty of children’s rights is questioned. The legal consequences of unregistered marriages create new problems for children, incredibly fulfilling their rights. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the registration of this marriage for the future of the family, especially the children. Of course, optimizing marriage registration is inseparable from the participation of related parties. It requires synergy between the government, the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), the Population and Civil Registration Service (DISDUKCAPIL), and the community. Marriage registration is essential, especially from the legal aspect, both in positive and Islamic law. Because basically, Islamic law does not oblige every marriage contract, but marriage registration is essential from the point of view of its benefits. This research belongs to empirical juridical research, using primary, secondary, and tertiary data collection techniques. This study uses a case approach and data analysis techniques used descriptively. The results of the discussion in this study found that marriage registration is beneficial for couples in terms of Islamic law and positive law; not just administration but providing legal certainty to wives, especially children born in terms of child status, education, and inheritance rights. Gorontalo Province marriage registration by the KUA and Disdukcapil has been running optimally even though the data found in unregistered marriages are pretty high, and this is because people do not understand the importance of marriage registration.

Twenty-three major databases containing historical longitudinal population data are presented and discussed in this edited volume, focusing on their aims, content, design, and structure. Some of these databases are based on pure longitudinal sources, such as population registers that continuously observe and record demographic events, including migration and family and household composition. Other databases are family reconstitutions, based on civil records. The third and last category consists of semi-longitudinal databases, that combine, for instance, civil records and censuses and/ or tax registers. The volume traces the origins of historical longitudinal databases from the 1970s and discusses their expansion worldwide, in terms of sources and hard- and software. The contributions highlight the unique genesis and common developmental arcs of these databases, which are rooted in the fields of quantitative history, social and demographic history, and the history of ordinary people. The importance of these databases in advancing knowledge and insights in various disciplines is emphasized and demonstrated, along with the challenges and opportunities they face. The collection of technical descriptions of these databases represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview of large databases with longitudinal micro-data on historical populations. It includes descriptions of databases from Europe, North America, East Asia, Australia, South Africa, and Suriname. Technical details, in terms of data entry, cleaning, standardization, and record linkage are meticulously documented. The volume is a must-have for all scholars in the field of historical life course studies.

At the end of the 20th century, the phenomenon of urban shrinkage received widespread attention, with population decline as its core characteristic. In 2020, the Taiwanese population had negative growth and faced a low fertility rate and an aging population. This study used exploratory spatial data analysis to identify shrinking cities in Taiwan based on census data and population registers. The results indicated that Taiwan has 11 shrinking counties and 202 shrinking towns. Urban shrinkage occurred in the 1980s and continued from the suburbanization stage to the re-urbanization stage. Five types of spatial patterns in the 11 shrinking counties were observed. In the majority of the shrinking counties, towns with high population densities were unable to avoid shrinkage. A global spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated that shrinkage and non-shrinkage have become increasingly apparent at the town level since 2005. A local spatial autocorrelation analysis indicates that the spatial clustering of towns with population growth or decline from 2000 to 2020 has changed. Based on each town’s development, a two-step cluster analysis was conducted in which all towns were divided into four categories. Shrinking towns exist in each category, but with a different proportion. Based on the results of two-step cluster analysis combined with spatial analysis, this study discovered that both urbanization and suburbanization cause shrinkage in Taiwan, but the affected localities are distinct. For most shrinking counties, their spatial model indicates a relationship between shrinking and the urbanization of their towns. Keelung City and Chiayi City have the most potential to reverse the shrinkage. This study helps authorities better manage growth and implement regional revitalization.

The Population and Civil Registry Office of Binjai City is a government agency which is engaged in providing services to the community. In running a marriage registration service, the binjai city Population and Civil Registry service serves Marriage registration for about 10 days because the system used is still not computerized or still manual with a collection of document files. So it takes a very long time in the process. Therefore to achieve less effective and efficient time in registration. Then the making of an online Marriage Registration Information system will be made which will greatly facilitate the marriage registrar's administrators. Using a website base with the programming language used is PHP. So that it will be easy to use many kinds of devices, both laptops, computers, mobile phones, and smartphones. The information system is made according to procedures in the Population and Civil Registry Office of Binjai City. Starting from registration until the issuance of a registered certificate after that can provide activity reports to the Department of Population and Civil Registration binjai city through the website without having to come to the Office of Population and Civil Registration. The results of this thesis are in the form of a Binjai City Marriage Registration Information System. With such a solution the time in service will only take faster so that it becomes maximal.

Marriage registration is an official process that involves registering and documenting a couple's marriage at authorized institutions, such as the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) and the Population and Civil Registry Service. This process legally and administratively records marriage events, producing an official document stating the couple's marital status. This research uses normative research with a focus on studying legal norms relating to marriage registration. The analysis used is a qualitative descriptive approach using legislation (statute approach) to analyze the issues that arise in connection with the Statement of Absolute Responsibility and its impact on marriage registration and the legality of marriages after the SPTJM policy. The research results show that the Statement of Absolute Responsibility policy has a positive impact, such as providing facilities for producing children's birth certificates and other documents. However, this policy can also present complexities related to the status of "Unregistered Marriage," which raises legal issues, protecting the rights of wives and children, as well as law enforcement against the practice of polygamy and polyandry. Even though the information of couples who are mar ried in an unregistered marriage is recorded in the Family Card document of the Population and Civil Registry Office, recognition is still required before the law so that this couple has adequate legal standing in court to ensure the validity of their marriage.

Previous studies have repeatedly shown that all‐cause mortality is subject to spatial variation within countries and that acculturation of migrant mortality to native patterns occurs gradually with increasing duration of residence. This suggests that spatial variation in mortality is likely to differ between migrants and natives and that the migrant mortality advantage may be subject to strong variation between local settings. Using longitudinal microdata from the Belgian census, the population register, and the tax registers for 2011–2015, this article contributes to our understanding of migrant‐native mortality differentials by considering subnational spatial variation in the mortality advantage, settlement patterns of migrant groups, and varying degrees of acculturation by duration of residence. Consistent with the health selection hypothesis and the migration as a rapid health transition hypothesis, spatial variation in all‐cause mortality is limited among migrants with durations of residence under 30 years, resulting in strong variation of the mortality advantage between districts. Partial convergence to the spatial pattern of natives emerges among first generation migrants with durations of residence exceeding 30 years, as well as the intermediate and second generation. In Belgium, the country‐level mortality advantage can be partially accounted for by the settlement pattern of the migrant population in districts characterised by high native mortality and large migrant‐native differentials in all‐cause mortality.

The scientific article examines the content of the rights and responsibilities of a woman and a man living in the same family without registration of marriage (de facto marriage) on the basis of doctrinal sources and current family law. As a result of scientific research, the author concluded that the rights arising from the actual marital relationship in the family law of the de facto spouse are generally similar to the rights of the spouses in a registered marriage, but only in part of the common property acquired in the de facto marriage, joint rights as parents over the child, the right to maintenance and adoption. An agreement between a woman and a man living in the same family but not in a registered marriage with each other or in any other marriage, regarding the definition of their property rights and obligations and the legal regime of jointly acquired property, may provide for another legal regime of such property, in particular in the form of joint partial ownership or personal private ownership of the actual spouse. The de facto spouse has the right to enter into an agreement on maintenance in the actual marital relationship, in which to expand the list of grounds for the occurrence of maintenance obligations, as well as to determine in more detail the procedure for their performance by the de facto spouses. Also, the de facto spouse has personal inalienable rights similar to the rights and responsibilities of the spouses in a registered marriage , including: the right to motherhood and fatherhood, respect for their individuality, physical and spiritual development, education, manifestation of their abilities, creating conditions for work and leisure, the division of responsibilities and joint resolution of family life, freedom and personal integrity, the duty to care for the family, but formally they are not defined at the level of family law as such that belong to the actual spouse.. At the same time, the de facto spouse has the right to change the surname on general grounds, and not in the manner prescribed by the Family Code of Ukraine.

This paper reports the results of an extensive study of hurricane-generated waves in the Gulf of Mexico. The study includes hindcasting of historical hurricanes and statistical interpretation of the hindcast wave data to determine maximum wave heights throughout the OCS of the central. and western Gulf of Mexico. Introduction The maximum wave height that reasonably can be expected to affect a structure during its lifetime is one of the more critical factors influencing the design of an offshore structure. By definition, such a wave height is a rare occurrence. The estimation of future occurrences of such waves must reflect, and indeed be derived from, the past history of storm-wave occurrences. Long-term past history of storm-wave occurrences. Long-term historical data bases are required to estimate these rare occurrences with meaningful reliability. Thus, estimating rare future occurrences poses two basic problems:developing a sufficiently long-term historical data base andinterpreting the historical data base to provide reliable estimates of future rare occurrences. The first problem can be solved effectively with hindcasting models. Hindcasting models can be developed and calibrated with contemporary data. These models then are applied with historical storm meteorological data to "re-create" an historical storm-wave data base. In this manner, the need for a long-term historical data base is satisfied by meteorological data.This paper emphasizes the solution of the second problem, which can be stated more concisely: Given an problem, which can be stated more concisely: Given an historical storm-wave data base, what is the most appropriate method for determining the cumulative probability distribution function for the largest waves probability distribution function for the largest waves that will affect a site in tY years? From that distribution function, a variety of wave statistics useful in design studies (e.g., expected maximum wave height in tY years or return-period wave heights) can be determined.This paper describes a study of hurricane-generated waves along the central and western OCS of the Gulf of Mexico. A hurricane climatology characterizing the geographical distribution, wave-generating capability, and frequency of severe hurricanes was derived from historical data. Based on this climatology, a model for estimating the cumulative probability distribution function for the largest wave in tY years from historical wave data was developed. The historical wave data base was generated by hindcasting the more severe historical hurricanes that occurred between 1900–74. Finally, the model was applied with the hindcast data and sample results are presented. Hindcasting Historical Hurricanes The historical wave data base required for this study was developed by hindcasting severe historical hurricanes. The hindcast model used has been described before and will be discussed only briefly here. Hindcast Model The hurricane hindcast model actually consists of two models - a wind-field model and a wave model. The wind-field model is based on a fundamental theoretical description of the relationship between the atmospheric pressure field and winds within a hurricane. The pressure pressure field and winds within a hurricane. The pressure field is described from historical meteorological data. JPT P. 632

The results of an extensive study of hurricane generated waves in the Gulf of Mexico are reported. The study included hindcasting a number of historical hurricanes and the statistical interpretation of the hindcast wave data to determine maximum wave heights throughout the OCS of the central and western Gulf of Mexico. Hurricanes were hindcast using the directional wave spectra model previously reported. This paper emphasizes the interpretation of historical hurricane hindcasts. INTRODUCTION The maximum wave height which can reasonably be expected to affect a structure during its lifetime is one of the more critical factors which influences the design of an offshore structure. By definition such a wave height is a rare occurrence. The estimation of future occurrences of such waves must reflect, and indeed be derived from, the past history of storm wave occurrences.
