What the paper says

This Population Bulletin presents the basic what why and how of the study of demography. It is not a comprehensive treatment of the subject but it does provide an overview of demographic processes and the basic measures used to assess them. In addition it traces population trends in the world and the United States surveys the demographic differences among population groups and examines broad social issues linked to population change. The first three sections of this Bulletin provide the framework for studying the dynamics of population. Fertility mortality and migration are at the root of all demographic change. The fourth section reveals how changes in fertility mortality and migration affect a populations size and growth rate and how population projections are calculated. The fifth section delves into the composition of populations according to common variables: age sex and race or ethnicity. The sixth section describes how the geographic distribution of populations changes primarily through migration. The final sections discuss issues and problems associated with population growth.
