Disaggregation

----1: . So what you would need is the fraction of e.g. the subgroup of women 30-34 of the total population of a country. Or the fraction of the subgroup of women 30-34 of the total population in the grid cells? --Alexandra Kuhn 17:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

←--2: . Fraction of the total population is better than a separate number for each grid cell. The latter is much more difficult to obtain for all grid cells. --Jouni 17:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
⇤--7: . Danielle already has this gridded data, so it could be used for the base year. --Jouni 19:26, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack)

----3: . And if then distinguishing between working and non-working, would you want it in fractions of the total population (e.g. 0.001 of the total population are women aged 30-34 and non-working) or in fractions of the fraction of the particular age (e.g. 0.6 of the women aged 30-34 are not working)? --Alexandra Kuhn 17:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

←--4: . In this case, fraction of a given age group, not the total population, is easier. --Jouni 17:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)

----5: . Which calculations shall I do and which are done from the base? I thought at first I'd give you the data on the grid. But in addition you might want to have the national numbers and percentages as well. And if I do any calculations at all I might as well do all. I am not sure which percentages you would be interested in and if you agree to the procedure I proposed at the meeting and if you want to do the calculations internally etc. --Alexandra Kuhn 17:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

←--6: . All original data (totals, fractions etc) could also go to the base, but they can also stay in the model file only. In any case, the disggregation results should be uploaded to the Base for further use. --Jouni 17:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
