The Dictionary of Demography

Abstract

This is a dictionary of concepts theories techniques and technical terms relating to all aspects of demography. It is based on Roland Pressats original French-language dictionary but has been extensively revised and adapted by Christopher Wilson. A substantial number of new entries from some 30 international contributors are included. The entries range from short notes to extended discussions according to the importance of the topic concerned. Terms and concepts are defined and placed in the context of current research. The entries which are arranged alphabetically are fully referenced and many are followed by suggestions for further reading. The dictionary is cross-referenced and a subject index is included. The geographic focus is worldwide. For the original French-language dictionary by Pressat published in 1979 see 46:1748.
