IAP BOOK SERIES

Current Perspectives in Demography

Demographic Perspectives apply not only to health, general local, regional, and national government planning and policy-making, marketing, and retail site location, but also to corporate demography, criminal justice, K-12 and Higher Education Planning, disaster planning and disaster effects, economic needs of developing and failed states, education, households and housing, military manpower and related security needs, forced and other types of migration, religion and transportation. In addition to the obvious substantive links, some of these applications require novel methods and data, some of which have not rally been well developed, if at all (e.g., national security needs, disaster planning and effects, forced migration, de facto populations).

The annual Applied Demography Conference sponsored by the Population Association of America provides a good foundation for the series.

Academic journals have articles that could lead to an entire book. Here, I am mainly thinking of special issues that are devoted to a specific topic, but individual papers also represent a source of future books.

The intended audience would include academics and practitioners in the fields described.
