Abstract

Network scale-up method is an indirect population size estimation method based on social network theory. It is widely used in estimating the hidden population size because it does not need to contact the target population. In order to provide reference for the further application of this method, this paper summarizes the traditional network scale-up method, the progress of this method and its combination with new survey techniques.
