Description
Demography is the study of population structure and change. As modern society becomes ever more complex, it becomes increasingly important to be able to measure accurately all aspects of change in the population, and estimate what its future size and composition might be. This book describesand explains the methods demographers use to analyse population data.Looking at mortality and fertility, population dynamics and population projection, nuptiality and migration, Hinde demonstrates that show more most demographic methods are applications of certain fundamental principles. This book coversmaterial taught in introductory courses in population analysis, while also including more advanced topics such as parity progression ratios, survival analysis and birth interval analysis. Most chapters are followed by a range of exercises, and a comprehensive set of solutions to these exercises isprovided at the end of the book. show lessTags
