Description
Canada's Population in a Global Context: An Introduction to Social Demography is a core text on Canadian demography that provides students with a balanced picture of population dynamics. Each chapter identifies and explores core issues and concerns within the discipline. Highly technical
matters are kept to the bare essentials while an emphasis is placed on conceptual and theoretical frameworks for the analysis of population phenomena. Age and sex compositions are thoroughly profiled in a global context, as are mortality, fertility, nuptiality and marriage patterns. There is also a
focus on population policy and public policy in Canada, providing students with a window into the "real world" implications of social demographics.
