With the refinement of the estimates of electron density in the Galaxy it is clear that pulsars have z distances away from the galactic plane of a few hundred parsec. There is now a very strong indication that young pulsars lie at small z distances, suggesting that pulsars originate in a small z population and are given velocities of about 100 km s-1 at birth.
