Cohort - kohoto (English spelling) cohort

Japanese: コーホート - こーほーと(英語表記)cohort
Cohort - kohoto (English spelling) cohort

A demographic term referring to a population group that shares common attributes such as age or sex at a certain point in time. For example, the rate at which a population group of a certain age in a certain year (a cohort for that age) is alive one year later is called the "cohort survival rate" for that age. In particular, when estimating future population, a method called the "cohort factor method" is often used. First, the population by sex and age in a certain year is determined based on highly accurate statistics such as the population census, and this is used as the base population. Then, for each cohort by sex and age, the cohort survival rate is used to calculate the decline in population, while for each age cohort of women, the age-specific birth rate is used to calculate the number of births, which are then added to the future population.

Japanese:

ある時点において年齢とか性別とかの共通の属性をもつ人口群をさす人口学上の用語。たとえば、ある年においてある年齢にあった人口群(その年齢に関するコーホート)が1年後に生存している率は、その年齢の「コーホート生存率」とよばれる。とくに、将来人口の推計に際しては、多くの場合「コーホート要因法」とよばれる方法が用いられる。それは、まず国勢調査などの正確性の高い統計に基づいてある年における性別・年齢別の人口を把握し、それを基準人口とする。そして、性別・年齢別の各コーホートについて、コーホート生存率を用いてその減少過程を計算する一方、女性の各年齢別コーホートについて、年齢別出生率を用いて出生数を算出し、それを将来人口に上乗せしていく、という方法である。
