Beschreibung
Demographic Methods and Concepts presents the methods most commonly needed to work with statistical materials on population at national, regional, and local levels. Unlike other texts in the field, this book uses clear non-technical language throughout to make demographic techniques accessible
to a diverse array of students, regardless of their background in mathematics. All the demographic techniques most relevant to the work of demographers, geographers, sociologists, and planners are covered. Demographic concepts and practical strategies important in the interpretation of population
statistics are also included. The book is ideal for undergraduate courses in sociology, geography, economics, and statistics.
Features
BLProvides techniques for analysis of population at regional, local, and national scales
BLIncludes chapters on migration and applied demography
BLIntegrates computer-based learning modules--the nature of demographic concepts and visual comparisons of demographic data--throughout the text
BLEmploys spreadsheet exercises using demographic statistics at the end of every chapter to help students develop relevant skills
Student CD-ROM--Packaged With Every Book
BLFully integrated with the text, this CD-ROM contains Excel spreadsheet modules and applications facilitating demographic studies.

Über den Autor
Don Rowland is a Reader in Population Studies at the Australian National University, where he teaches courses on demographic methods, population trends and social changes. He has published monographs, and numerous papers in academic journals and books, focussing on migration, the family, ageing, and national population changes. His research has included many studies undertaken for Australian and international organisations, including the Committee for International Cooperation in National Research in Demography (CICRED), the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) and the United Nations. Like many demographers, his research and teaching is undertaken in an interdisciplinary setting; interests in family sociology and social gerontology supplement his formal academic qualifications in geography and demography.
