About this book
Reviews
“In fourteen chapters it provides the reader with the necessary tools for creating numerous population projection methods. … both graduate and upper-level undergraduate students could use this book as the sole textbook for a course, or as a supplement focusing on select chapters. Similarly, those who need a refresher on specific projection fundamentals will find this book full of helpful information. … Reading this book is an eye-opening journey into the complex world of population projections/forecasts.” (Alison Yacyshyn, Canadian Studies in population, Vol. 42 (3-4), 2015)
