Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- List of Figures. List of Tables -- CHAPTER 1. Fertility, Mortality, and Age Distributions: Introduction -- CHAPTER 2. The Stable Population -- CHAPTER 3. Convergence of a Population to the Stable Form -- CHAPTER 4. Population with Fertility that Changes at a Constant Rate -- CHAPTER 5. Birth Sequences and Age Distributions with Changing Mortality -- CHAPTER 6. The Birth Sequence and the Age Distribution That Occur When Fertility Is Subject to Repetitive Fluctuations -- CHAPTER 7. The Relation Between the Birth Sequence and Sequence of Fertility Schedules in Any Time Pattern Derived by Fourier Analysis -- CHAPTER 8. Conclusion -- GLOSSARY OF MOST SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS -- INDEX
Summary: Although mathematical demography has traditionally studied the so-called stable population (fixed mortality and fertility schedules), Ansley Coale investigates now the dynamics of population growth and structure-the changing age composition of a population as birth and death rates fluctuate.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
