| The first thing to notice is that demographers have never been much good at prediction. |
|
| American demographers predict that upward of 90 per cent of young women will eventually marry. |
|
| To account for differences in population size, demographers often use the concepts of crude birth rate and crude death rate. |
|
| We need the perspectives of demographers and economists and sociologists and many others. |
|
| People have taken a very strong interest in the issue, not just demographers but those in the past for very good reasons. |
|
| Research on this issue must continue, but in the meantime demographers and planners cannot afford to ignore it. |
|
| As Charles Murray noticed decades ago and demographers have known for some time, the structure of families has diverged drastically by social class. |
|
| According to demographers, this generation of 70 million born between 1978 and 1994 could represent the greatest sociological force since the baby boomers. |
|
| In 2015 demographers, teachers and politicians will stop talking about the population pyramid and start referring to the population dome. |
|
| Doing computational intensive techniques, like multistate life tables and hazard modeling, are now much more accessible to demographers. |
|
| This is why demographers prefer to use fertility rates rather than the crude birth rate. |
|
| Yet demographers rarely interact professionally with ecologists or atmospheric physicists or hydrologists or even economists and political scientists. |
|
| Economists and demographers tell us that poverty in the world is dramatically increasing, at least in part because of the economic approach adopted by our society. |
|
| The rapid expansion of China's population from 1949 to the late 1970s stoked the flames of neo-Malthusian demographers. |
|
| Neo-Malthusian demographers will feel vindicated by the theory of secular cycles. |
|
| The task force also sought guidance outside the Bank from demographers and equality and diversity experts as well as from leaders and other insightful members of the various visible minority communities. |
|
| But public scrutiny of the policy is growing, along with pressure to loosen or scrap it altogether. Chinese demographers say the social and economic damage done by the policy will be felt for generations. |
|
| But political leaders still fear that such a reform would result in a sudden burst of population growth, and so far they have held fast, despite the pleas of demographers. |
|
| Longstanding research by economists and demographers suggests that women's contribution to gross domestic product could be even higher if their unpaid work were factored in. |
|
| The task of estimating irregular migrants and producing data on their characteristics was discussed as one of the most challenging ones for demographers. |
|
|
|
| What impressed me about that has been the fact that these were highly professional people, historians, demographers or something like this, who were very keen and had a professional interest in obtaining the information. |
|
| It will require input from academic and research institutions which can furnish biologists, ecologists, economists, demographers and land-use planners. |
|
| Consulting with them or reviewing reports or official projections may indicate the model table that the national demographers consider the best fit. |
|
| Immigrant elders leave a familiar home, some without electricity or running water, for a multigenerational home in communities like Fremont that demographers call ethnoburbs. |
|
| After 1963 demographers used varying methods to estimate the population. |
|
| Although the country lacks trained demographers, accurate data on household registration, migration, and births and deaths are available to North Korean authorities. |
|
| Demographers will say that the Maori population is younger than average and children don't pay tax. |
|
| Demographers have begun to note movements of black people from inner-city areas to leafier suburbs as they become more affluent. |
