Urbanization trends in Papua New Guinea are analyzed using official data from the 1971 and 1980 censuses. The author suggests that the massive urban population growth rate for 1966-1971 was a figment of post-enumeration miscalculation. However the data indicate that the annual urban growth rate for the period 1971-1980 was nearly four times higher than the growth rate for the population as a whole. (ANNOTATION)

无事生非：巴布亚新几内亚的城市化、预测和人口普查

巴布亚新几内亚的城市化趋势使用 1971 年和 1980 年人口普查的官方数据进行分析。作者认为，1966 年至 1971 年的大规模城市人口增长率是统计后错误计算的虚构。然而，数据表明，1971-1980 年期间的城市年增长率几乎是整体人口增长率的四倍。（注解）
