This book details cutting-edge methods and findings that
may shape the future of applied demography. Inside, readers will discover new
insights into the databases, substantive issues, and methodological approaches
that can help them to improve how they use demography in decision making and
planning problems in both public and private settings.
The topics and perspectives are found in the book’s 23
chapters, which are organized into three major sections: (I) Demographic
Information for Decision-Making: Case Studies; (II) Data: Issues and Analyses;
and (III) Projection and Estimation Methods: Evaluations, Examples, and
Discussions. Coverage includes chapters on migration, demographic market
analysis, future courtroom needs, trends in the needs of the elderly, access to
health care, longitudinal data systems, census costs, and new approaches to
small area estimation and projection methods. The case studies represent a wide
range of countries, including Australia, Canada, China, England, India, Japan,
and the United States of America. Overall, this edited volume collects papers
that were presented at different conferences, including the 8th international conference on population
geographies (University of Queensland, 2015), the 2014 Applied Demography
Conference (San Antonio, Texas, USA), and the annual conference of the Canadian
Population Society.
