Abstract

Marriage data: In South Africa Civil Marriages are administered through the Marriage Act, 1961 (Act No. 25 of 1961) as amended, and its associated regulations. Customary marriages are governed by the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, 1998 (Act No. 120 of 1998) which came into effect on 15 November 2000. Civil unions (relationships between same-sex couples that are legally recognized by a state authority) are covered by the Civil Union Act, 2006 (Act No. 17 of 2006) which came into operation on 30 November 2006.

The South African Department of Home Affairs is responsible for the administration of marriages in South Africa, under these laws. After the ceremony of a marriage or a civil union, the marriage officer submits the data to the nearest office of the Department of Home Affairs (DHS), where the marriage / civil union details for citizens and permanent residents are recorded in the National Population Register (NPR). Statistics South Africa obtains data on marriages and civil unions from DHA through the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) for this dataset.

NOTE: In customary marriages, the two spouses and their witnesses present themselves at a DHA office in order to register a customary marriage. Therefore the province of registration is not necessarily the province of the place of usual residence of the couple since the registration of the marriage can take place in any DHA office.

Divorce data: The dissolution of registered marriages and civil unions is governed by the Divorce Act, 1979 as amended, and its associated regulations (Act No.70 of 1979) and the Jurisdiction of Regional Courts Amendment Act, 2008 (Act No. 32 of 2008) as amended which came into effect on 9 August 2010. The South African Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DJCD) is responsible for managing divorces under these Acts. Statistics South Africa obtains the divorce data from the DJCD for this dataset.

NOTE: The data includes divorce applications that were concluded in 2014, that is, that were finalised and issued with decrees of divorce in 2014 by DJCD.

Geography is problematic in this dataset as not all the data files have geographic data. The Civil Marriages and Civil Unions data files include a Province of Registration variable but the Customary Marriages data file does not. There is also no geographical data in the Divorces file. As this data file includes divorce data from only a subset of divorce courts, this lack of geographical information compromises its usability.

The North Carolina State Center for Health Services (SCHS) collects yearly vital statistics. The Odum Institute holds vital statistics beginning in 1968 for births, fetal deaths, deaths, birth/infant deaths, marriages and divorce. Public marriage and divorce data are available through 1999 only.This study focuses on deaths in North Carolina in 2014. Death is defined as the permanent disappearance of any evidence of life at any time after live birth. This definition excludes fetal death s. The data kept for deaths includes the age, race, marital status, and sex of the individual; date, time, cause and location of death; and mode of burial. Minor changes to the files beginning in 2014 reflect the release of an updated NC Death Certificate form in that year.The data are strictly numerical; there is no identifying information given about the individuals.

The 2014 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey (2014 EDHS) is the tenth in a series of Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in Egypt. As with the prior surveys, the main objective of the 2014 EDHS is to provide up-to-date information on fertility and childhood mortality levels; fertility preferences; awareness, approval, and use of family planning methods; and maternal and child health and nutrition. The survey also covers several special topics including domestic violence and child labor and child disciplinary practices. All ever-married women age 15-49 who were usual members of the selected households and those who spent the night before the survey in the selected households were eligible to be interviewed in the survey. The sample for the 2014 EDHS was designed to provide estimates of population and health indicators including fertility and mortality rates for the country as a whole and for six major subdivisions (Urban Governorates, urban Lower Egypt, rural Lower Egypt, urban Upper Egypt, rural Upper Egypt, and the Frontier Governorates). Unlike earlier EDHS surveys, the sample for the 2014 EDHS was explicitly designed to allow for separate estimates of most key indicators at the governorate level.

The POPUM database contains personal records entered from parish registers from the areas around Linköping, Sundsvall, large parts of the Västerbotten county and the inland of Norrland. The database covers parish registers from the end of the 17th century until the end of the 19th century. The personal records stem from different types of parish registers such as catechetical registers, birth and baptism registers, banns and marriage registers, migrations registers, and death registers.

These datasets, ranging from birth to death, provides possibilities to link together individuals and generations. The life stories of individuals as well as family histories can be tracked. Moreover, the dataset offers the possibility to study demographical and socio-economic changes over time across different regions and parishes.

The purpose of the POPUM database is to provide detailed individual records from church books between the late 1600s and around 1910 for research. It enables studies on demography, social structures, and historical development in Sweden. POPUM offers data on, among other things, population development, migration patterns, economic changes, industrialization, agricultural communities, small-scale farming, Sámi history, and urbanization.

The Egypt sub-national Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) was carried out in 2013-14 by El-Zanaty & Associates in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Population. Financial and technical support was provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Egypt Country Office, Middle East and North Africa Regional Office, and UNICEF Headquarters. The global Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) programme was developed by UNICEF in the 1990s as an international household survey programme to support countries in the collection of internationally comparable data on a wide range of indicators on the situation of children and women. MICS measures key indicators that allow countries to generate data for use in policies and programmes, and to monitor progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed upon commitments. This MICS aims at providing data for monitoring system of the ‘Integrated Perinatal Health and Child Nutrition Programme’ (IPHN) implemented by the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) in Egypt with the support of UNICEF. The IPHN covers selected rural districts in 6 governorates, 4 in Upper Egypt and 2 in Lower Egypt. The MICS in the rural districts cover by the IPHN programme in Egypt was conducted as part of the fifth global round of MICS Surveys (MICS5). The IPHN programme is implemented by the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) in collaboration with UNICEF in selected disadvantaged rural areas of Upper and Lower Egypt. The survey has been specifically designed to respond to the data needs of the IPHN program and of its monitoring system (which adopts the model of the Monitoring Results for Equity System, developed by UNICEF). The specific focus of this MICS is on perinatal care. In the MoRES framework developed for the IPHN program, this survey complements the data provided by the routine administrative data collection system and by evidence provided by a qualitative study on perinatal care and nutrition. The IPHN programme has been initially conducted, since 2008, as a pilot in selected rural village/Family Health Units (FHUs) in 3 Upper Egypt governorates, and then – starting in 2012, it has been expanded in new FHUs in Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, covering a total of 6 governorates at the time of the survey. A total of 2.5 million people were living in the areas of intervention at the time of the survey. Consistently with the focus of the survey on perinatal care, this household survey considered as eligible for the interviews ever-married women age 15-49 and children under five. A total of 7046 households were successfully interviewed with response rate of 99.9 percent. A total of 5847 ever-married women age 15-49 were successfully interviewed and 5090 questionnaires were completed for children under-5. The results of the survey are representative of the full area covered by the IPHN and for three subdomains, namely the pilots FHUs in Upper Egypt, the FHUs of Upper Egypt expansion phase, and the FHUs of the Lower Egypt expansion phase.

Abstract This paper discusses some of the factors associated with life satisfaction in Brazil using four waves of the World Values Survey (1991 to 2014). Some results already described in the literature were confirmed, as we found that individuals who were married, employed, more religious, in better health, with greater freedom/control over their lives and who had a better financial situation were more satisfied with life, regardless of the time period. The variables for age and cohort showed non-significant associations with life satisfaction when aspects that theoretically correlated with life satisfaction were controlled in the analysis. When the different cohorts were analyzed separately, the results suggest that life satisfaction might be related to the conjectural and historical factors represented by period effects.

The offspring of first cousin marriages have ~6% of their genome autozygous, i.e. homozygous identical by descent, or even more if there was further consanguinity in their ancestry. In the UK there are large populations with very high first cousin marriage rates of 20-50%. Sequencing the exomes of a sample of these individuals has the potential both to support genetic health programmes in these populations, and to provide genetic research information about rare loss of function mutations. This pilot study based on existing cohort samples from the Born In Bradford study will identify homozygous individuals for almost all variants down to an allele frequency around 1%, plus individuals carrying hundreds of new homozygous rare loss-of-function variants, and will support development of community relations and ethics for a wider study currently being designed. The data deposited in the EGA consist of low coverage whole exome sequencing on these samples.Data Access is controlled by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute DAC and the Born In Bradford Executive Group. This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2014-11-20.
