The cohort approach: essays in the measurement of temporal variations in demographic behavior

Abstract

The intention...in this dissertation [originally written in 1951] is to demonstrate the superiority of the cohort approach to the period approach in the measurement and analysis of short run and long run temporal variations in the fertility and mortality of total populations. Chapters are included on the difference between cohort and period net reproduction rates and the nature of cohort experience in a stable population model; the cohort approach to mortality analysis; Swedish cohort fertility for the period 1751-1945; ...fertility analysis including the use of nuptiality-age functions for birth cohorts and fertility-duration functions for marriage cohorts; and Canadian cohort fertility by parity for the period 1921-1949 (EXCERPT)
