Synopsis
This book provides a deep dive into a critical period in American History – the year 1918. The author explores the many factors that caused an abnormal distribution of the population in various demographic groups, a problem that has made it difficult for statisticians to calculate accurate death rates for that year, especially in relation to the influenza epidemic. The author examines the unusual conditions such as the withdrawal of millions of young men from civilian life for military service, the movement of industrial workers to war-related industries, and the shifting occupational statuses. Through an analysis of available data, the author attempts to correct population estimates in order to calculate a more accurate mortality rate during the 1918 influenza pandemic, comparing the results to a sample population to test their accuracy. This book will appeal to anyone interested in statistics, public health, and the social impact of historical events.
