9781032553597: Population Structures and Models: Developments in Spatial Demography

Sinossi

Originally published in 1986, this volume brings together geographical modelling of population change and demographic analysis of population structures and pattern. These 2 strands are interwoven in 3 key review chapters that summarize the study of spatial and temporal patterns of population, the modelling of spatial populations and the estimation of population processes. Findings reported include: An account of demographic transition; an exposé of the myth of ‘no fertility rises’ in the developing world in the 20th Century; a theory of population accounting; predicting migration flows for a system of regions; microsimulation methods to model population change; and demographic and economic processes integrated in an urban region model.

Informazioni sull?autore

Robert (Bob) Woods was one of the most eminent historical demographers of his generation. He held the John Rankin Chair of Geography at the University of Liverpool, served as President of the British Society for Population Studies (1991), was founding co-editor (1997-92) of the International Journal of Population Geography and was a recipient of the Society’s Murchison Award (1999).

Philip Rees, now an emeritus professor, has spent over half a century at the University of Leeds researching spatial population dynamics, mentoring generations of students, leading programmes for improving access to UK population data, participating in international collaborations and advising government and business. His key contribution, illustrated in the book, has been to show how spatial demographic models, especially those for projecting populations, must be founded on the proper understanding of how migration is measured."
