Techniques of population studies are presented in this book together with applications using a stochastic process oriented-approach. The text includes new aspects of stochastic modelling in demography, competing risk theory and survival theory, problems of incomplete demographic data, and sampling problems in the estimation of demographic parameters. Models of fertility, mortality and growth are developed and analyzed using established theories of stochastic processes and the author's own contributions. This book presupposes undergraduate calculus and linear algebra.
