This book provides an up-to-date overview of demographic analysis and methods, including recent developments in demography.

An emphasis on practical aspects and the use of real-life examples based on data from around the globe make this book accessible, whilst comprehensive references and links to data and other resources on the internet help readers to explore further.
The text is concise and well written, making it ideally suitedto a wider audience from students to academics and teachers.
