Jarman 8

[Brian Cooper]

I am seeking assistance with the development of some syntax to calculate Jarman 8 indices. Is there any person from the UK who would be able to assist.

Publicly available online reference might lead to your obtaining assistance.
Formulas?  What does being in the UK have to do with anything?  This is the 21st century.

from the last listed above:

The eight variables comprised in the index are:

1. 1 X = pensioners living alone as a percentage of all residents in

households

2. 2 X = children aged under five years as a percentage of all

residents in households

3. 3 X = people in households of one person over 16 and one or

more children as a percentage of all residents in households

4. 4 X = people in households headed by a person in socioeconomic

group 5 (unskilled manual workers)2 as a percentage of all

residents in households

5. 5 X = people aged 16 or more unemployed as a percentage of

economically active adults

6. 6 X = people in households living at more than 1 person for room

as a percentage of all residents in households

7. 7 X = people aged 1 or over with a usual address one year before

the census different from the present usual address as a

percentage of all residents in households

8. 8 X = people in households headed by a person born in the New

Commonwealth as a percentage of all residents in households

Note that selected variables, originally derived from 1981 census data, could be

divided into two different categories, because they reflect both socio-economic

conditions and demographic subgroups.

The index could be expressed as follows:

Let

1

1 arcsin

100

T = X , 2

2 arcsin

100

T = X , …, 8

8 arcsin

T = X

the Jarman index is given by the weighted sum of zi

The weights i w applied (table 1), just like selected variables, emerged from a

survey of general practitioners.
