Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Technical Demography by Dr. Ramakumar
Technical Demography deals with the measurement of various demographic aspects and the standard methods of analysing demographic information. It is unique and different from other books that deal with the subject in that the subject of Technical Demography is treated as an integrated unit instead of as a compendium of several methods, enabling the reader to have a holistic grasp of the subject. Technical Demography is elaborated here with mathematical abstraction and rigour. The absence of such an approach has made techniques of demographic analysis mere skills in manipulating data. This book should therefore, also attract mathematicians and statisticians to the field of demographic measurement.
All aspects of demographic analysis, from fundamental concepts to current development are covered. The systematic development attempted here enables easy comprehension of the subject.
