Abstract

[An important hallmark of empirical research in population studies and demography has traditionally been a focus on careful description of population trends and changes using representative micro- or large-scale macro-data. For example, much effort has been devoted to describing the trends and variations in the core demographic processes– fertility, mortality and migration– and how the size and structure of a population are affected by these underlying processes. A core aspect of demographic methods therefore has been on the construction of vital rates, life-course measures of the tempo and quantum of demographic events, life table analysis and its extension to multi-state processes, and the decomposition of population differences in terms of rates and proportions (Vaupel 2001).]
