Addressing the methodological and topical challenges facing
demographers working in remote regions, this book compares and
contrasts the research, methods and models, and policy applications
from peripheral regions in developed nations. With the emphasis on
human populations as dynamic, adaptive, evolving systems, it
explores how populations respond in different ways to changing
environmental, cultural and economic conditions and how effectively
they manage these change processes. Theoretical understandings and
policy issues arising from demographic modelling are tackled
including: competition for skilled workers; urbanisation and
ruralisation; population ageing; the impacts of climate change; the
life outcomes of Indigenous peoples; globalisation and
international migration. Based on a strong theoretical framework
around issues of heterogeneity, generational change, temporariness
and the relative strength of internal and external ties, Demography
at the Edge provides a common set of approaches and issues that
benefit both researchers and practitioners.
