A practical, theory-driven guide to how populations grow and fluctuate

Keep up with the methods that turn raw census data into meaningful patterns. This edition explains the mathematics behind population change and shows how to apply it to real census figures and inter-census data.

The book blends a solid technical framework with clear interpretation. It outlines essential formulas and demonstrates their use on Australian census data, while noting where data precision and corrections matter. Readers will find both the theory and concrete examples that connect analysis to policy-relevant questions.

Learn how variations in one statistic ripple through the whole population picture.
See how to handle data imperfections and justify adjustments.
Explore methods for modeling rates of increase, migration effects, and long-term trends.
Access practical steps for smoothing, grouping, and interpreting complex age-structure data.

Ideal for readers of statistical population studies who want a rigorous, applied toolkit grounded in census practice.
