Originally published in 1986, this volume brings together geographical modelling of population change and demographic analysis of population structures and pattern. These 2 strands are interwoven in 3 key review chapters that summarize the study of spatial and temporal patterns of population, the modelling of spatial populations and the estimation of population processes. Findings reported include: An account of demographic transition; an exposé of the myth of ‘no fertility rises’ in the developing world in the 20^th Century; a theory of population accounting; predicting migration flows for a system of regions; microsimulation methods to model population change; and demographic and economic processes integrated in an urban region model.

Review of the original edition of Population Structures and Models:

‘…readers should find the text well-organized and coherent, formula notations clearly defined and tables and figures quite helpful in reinforcing an understanding of the subject.’ John F. Watkins, Professional Geographer, Vol 40, Issue 2.
