The Methods and Uses of Anthropological Demography

Abstract

Abstract This book is an outcome of a workshop organized by the Scientific Committee on Anthropological Demography of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population. When the committee began its term in 1992, it felt that it needed to first make some formal attempt to define the scope of anthropological demography and develop not so much a manual as a guiding text to attract more demographers to this relatively new but potentially rich sub-discipline. This was especially necessary because interested demographers have nowhere to turn to for an exposition of the methods of anthropological demography; and even the kind of substantive research that is discussed in this volume and that will surely provoke further research, has until recently been unavailable in the standard demography journals, which have traditionally been biased towards more quantitative analyses.
