Talk:Demographic analysis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is currently or was the subject of an educational assignment.

The article on demography has a section on data but nothing on demographic analysis, and as this is an important part of demography it needs its own page. So I and a number of other people are working on creating a whole page on demographic analysis. Please give us time and do not hastily delete this new page.

seems like the demographic book-keeping section requires some definitions of the letters and terms in the equations, and a bit more background on what demographic book-keeping is. --Htw3 19:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The terms in the demographic bookkeeping section have been defined and the equation has been rewritten to provide more clarity to the reader. --Ericalynnnn 17:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

also-- seems like the section on population change ought to start with a description of the mechanisms that cause population change. things like in and out migration, new births, disease, war etc.--Htw3 19:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The article on Demographic Analysis warrants its own page on wikipedia instead of just redirecting to Demography. The methods utilized by Demographic Analysis are used across many different fields of study, not limited to those defined in the Demography article. Please do not redirect this page without first discussing it on this page. Also see the discussion on the discussion page of Perspicacite. --Ericalynnnn 18:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
