Reseña del editor

After comprehensive coverage of basic demographic concepts, Weeks examines the following topics as they relate to population growth-women and families, aging, urbanization, economic development, food and pollution, population policy and applied demography. Later chapters provide students with an appreciation of the significance of demography in their own lives-moving demography from an abstract academic real to the real world in which they live and work.
