| description | In this paper we follow a lead provided by Basu and Basu ['The Greying of Populations: Concepts and Measurement,' Demography India 16, pp. 79—89], in order to advance a class of 'agedness' indices which, because they have been motivated by analogous considerations in the poverty measurement literature, can find application in that area of enquiry as well. The properties of the proposed indices are discussed, and illustrations of empirical application are provided. The note is intended as a contribution to the larger enquiry into the measurement of development indicators. |
