This textbook focuses on the cohort change ratio (CCR) method. It presents powerful, yet relatively simple ways to generate accurate demographic estimates and forecasts that are cost efficient and require fewer resources than other techniques. The concepts, analytical frameworks, and methodological tools presented do not require extensive knowledge of demographics, mathematics, or statistics. The demographic focus is on the characteristics of populations, especially age and sex composition, but these methods are applicable estimating and forecasting other characteristics and total population. The book contains more traditional applications such as the Hamilton-Perry method, but also includes new applications of the CCR method such as stable population theory. Real world empirical examples are provided for every application; along with excel files containing data and program code, which are accessible online. Topics covered include basic demographic measures, sources of demographic information, forecasting and estimating (both current and historical) populations, modifications to current methods, forecasting school enrollment and other characteristics, estimating life expectancy, stable population theory, decomposition of the CCR into its migration and mortality components, and the utility of the CCR. This textbook is designed to provide material for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course on demographic methods. It can also be used as a supplement for other courses including applied demography, business and economic forecasting and market research.

Justice between age groups is an understudied area in political philosophy. What does it mean to treat different age groups as equals ? Should we apply egalitarian comparison to people born at different times at this specific point in time or over the course of their lives ? Is it permissible to give higher priority to policies that primarily benefit the youngsters ? Don’t inequalities among age groups matter as well as inequalities between age groups ? Should we take the risk of premature death into account ? The present PhD thesis establishes a theoretical framework for age-group justice and makes explicit its implications for practical policy discussions and proposals, Justice between age groups is an understudied area in political philosophy.

La justice entre les classes d'âge est un domaine sous-étudié. Il n'est pas évident de savoir a priori comment traiter de manière équitable deux personnes d'âge différent. L'égalité doit-elle être respectée à chaque moment de la vie de ces personnes ou bien suffit-il de se concentrer sur l'égalité entre leurs vies complètes? Y a t-il des raisons de privilégier les âgés ou les plus jeunes? L'égalité entre les classes d'âge constitue t-elle le seul objectif à poursuivre ou bien faut-il s'intéresser aussi aux inégalités au sein d'une même classe d'âge? Faut-il se préoccuper de ce que les espérances de vie des individus sont différentes? Voilà quelques-unes des questions auxquelles cette thèse a l'ambition de répondre. On trouvera dans la présente thèse l'élaboration d'une théorie complète de la justice entre les classes d'âge avec ses fondements et ses justifications ainsi que son application à des politiques publiques contemporaines.

"A popular and efficient tool to analyze grouped data of a certain event, APC analysis is used in a range of application areas, including public health, social science, demography, and economics. This book first describes the basic graphic presentation and modeling of APC data using R. Taking a more theoretical point of view, it then presents various methods for addressing the complex identification problem. Appendices cover the necessary background material."--Provided by publisher.
