The french population at 1st january 2004 Aguascalientes 4 – 6 july 2005
Yearly estimate method before 2004 • At the national level • At a local level (regions and departments)
At national level To add to the 1st january population • The natural increase • An estimate of the net migration P1 = P0 + Births – Deaths + Net Migration P0 : population at 1st january of the previous year P1 : population at 1st january We start from a population at 1st january 1999, based on the 1999 Census
To estimate the annual net migration • Four main streams • Arrivals and departures of foreign people • Arrivals and departures of french people • Annual informations only for foreign born migrants (OMI, OFPRA, Home Office) • For other streams, an estimate based on trends, thanks to a simple model
At a local level(regions and departments) A method using administrative data bases (local tax, family benefits, electricity, elections). It yields population estimates by department and regions • The total is the national estimate • These estimates are produced by sex and age • They are disseminated with a 18 months delay : spring n+1 for populations at the 1st january n
Comparison census - estimate after each census • Comparison of 2 figures : • estimate au 1st january of the census year • Census population, counted at the 1st january • Before 1999, the census population was always kept as the population • If the census population is different from the population estimate, we can think that the net migration estimate is wrong. But the gap between the 2 figures can also come from comparability problems between the 2 censuses.
Retropolation When the census results are known, populations for the years between the censuses are updated : • Populations by sex, age and marital status at the 1st january of each year, at national and local levels • With these new data, demographic ratios (TFR, life expectancy) are updated fot the intercensal period.
Analyse after the 1999 census (1) • The census population (counted at the 1st january) was under the estimate based on the previous census by 480000 inhabitants. • The net migration estimate was not changed. • The gap was a attributed to a comparability problem between censuses. • To keep an equality, an adjustment was introduced.
National population estimate at the 1st january 2004 (before 2004 census results) Before taking in account the 2004 collection for the rolling census • Each year from 2000, Insee published a population estimate at the 1st january, based on the 1999 census. • For 2004, this estimate was published in february 2004, in the « bilan démographique 2003 ».

Incertainties of the estimate based on the 1999 census • Natural increase : good • Net migration : under-estimation • Omission of a part of foreign migrants since 1998, because of changes of classification in the administrative annual data. • temporary data for 2003
How to know net migration for foreign born (« immigrés ») with census data • From the 1999 census, to estimate surviving foreign born living in France without migration • To estimate a net migration by difference • To compare with new immigrants (arrived since 1999)
How to know net migration for foreign born (« immigrés ») with census data
Incertainties on the census population of 2004 • Sampling error • Change in counting students • Censoring institutionnal households • Homeless people • Problems of quality of the address file, in the bigger municipalities • Checking the double counts
Including the overseas departments France had 62,0 millions of inhabitants at 1st january 2004 • 60,2 millions in continental departments • 1,8 million in overseas departments
At the regional level Comparison between : • regional estimates at the 1st january 2004, obtained from 2003 estimates, by using administrative records • 2004 census results
Later In the beginning of 2006, a new comparison will be done between : • 2005 estimate, published in february 2005 in « Bilan démographique 2004 » • 2005 census population. If the census population is once more higher than estimated, it could be decided to set a new estimate for 2005, more close to the census population, and we shall have a new adjustment.
