Synopsis
This book brings together 28 papers examining major issues and trends in Canadian demography. Beginning with a historical survey of population growth in Canada and around the world, Part 1 draws attention to the interplay of demographic and social changes. The remaining sections focus on
issues in six specific areas: the age and sex composition of Canadian society; mortality; fertility; family formation and dissolution; population movement (both international and internal); and urbanization and population ecology.
In their introduction to each section, the editors provide an overview of the readings to follow, outlining central issues, themes, and concepts, as well as a guide to the basic techniques of population analysis used in each case.
The only Canadian reader of its kind, this book will be of value to anyone concerned with the challenges facing contemporary Canadian society.
