Micro-Approaches to Demographic Research

Abstract

This volume is a compilation of papers presented at an IUSSP seminar in Canberra Australia in September 1984. The focus of the seminar was on supplementing traditional demographic census and survey techniques with field studies drawing upon both anthropological and small-scale survey methodologies. Chapters are included on micro-perspectives on Asian fertility; the family and fertility in Africa; institutions and intergenerational transfers; studying mortality and morbidity; marriage household formation and fertility; migration and urbanization; and indigenous perceptions and theories of reproduction. The geographical focus is on Asia and Africa.
