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 describes and explains the methods demographers
use to analyze population data.
Looking at mortality and fertility, population dynamics and
population projections, nuptiality and migration, Andrew Hinde
demonstrates that most demographic methods are applications of
certain fundamental principles. The book covers material 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 is provided at the end of the book. Accompanying
Quattro@ and Microsoft@ Excel spreadsheet files with data for all
the numerical exercises, plus some additional files of data from
recent censuses and surveys, are provided on the World Wide Web;
instructions for obtaining these files are included in the book.
