Abstract: |
The objective of this project is to create a contemporary demography textbook that diverges from the traditional presentation of demographic techniques and indicators. It aims to explore the history of demography as a science, develop indicators, measures, methods, and techniques, and emphasize the significance of population developments in the social and economic growth of a region. The book examines major global and Greek developments, highlighting geographical and temporal variations, the main explanatory factors, and their most significant consequences.
The book is divided into three sections: The first section, titled "Demography: Object, Tools, Methodology, and Applications," discusses population theories developed before the establishment of demography as a science and the factors that contributed to its foundation (Chapter 1). It covers the scope of demography (Chapter 2), different sources of demographic data (Chapter 3), tools (Chapter 4), as well as methods and techniques of demographic analysis (Chapter 5).
The second section, titled "The World Population: Developments, Determinants, and Consequences," examines the demographic evolution of Greece's population and its unique characteristics (Chapter 9), the variations in fertility and mortality based on geographical, age, and social parameters (Chapter 10), the most significant developments regarding foreign populations in Greece at national and regional levels (Chapter 11), and discusses the prospects for Greece's population evolution and their implications (Chapter 12).
