Fecundity: The physiological capacity of a woman to produce a child [a theoretical upper limit]
Fertility: The actual reproductive performance of an individual, a couple, a group, or a population. [fecundity adjusted by social/cultural practices and events, including birth control, nutrition, delayed childbirth, etc.]
Demography: the study of life EVENTS.Individuals are “at risk” of experiencing these events.Events occur in a temporal-spatial context.
Right now, each of you can be located at a specific:Tn time (1 dimension)Sn space (3-dimensions [x,y,z], or 2 on a flat surface
[x,y], such as a map or the earth’s surface)
When you were born, you were located at a specific:T0 timeS0 spaceFrom these two we can get:Your age: Tn - T0
Your net migration: Sn - S0 (and with more, intermediate time points, we could also determine the specific legs of your migratory path to Ann Arbor)
- if we follow age groups (cohorts) over time, then this is known as cohort data
Here: randomly pick three every 10 years
- special case: if we follow the same individuals in a cohort over time, then this is known as panel data
- Here: pick the same three people every ten years

Demography for planners?
absolute population levels in the future
but more importantly:
The components of population.
Demand for services vary by age, sex, family status, immigration status, etc.
Examples: demand for housing ,roads, schools, child care, special-needs housing.
Demographers thus speak of
Age-specific rates
(e.g., age-specific migration rates)
What is the implication for social policy (e.g., school funding, job training, pension plans) of dramatic differences in age-specific racial/ethnicity composition in places like California and Florida?

The basic components of demographic change:Components of Change: births, deaths, migrationExample:Population 2000 = Population1990 + Births - Deaths + Inmigration - Outmigration Or Pt+10 = Pt+ B - D + IN - OUT
Often you only know “net migration”, so this becomesPt+10 = Pt+ B - D + Net Migration
You can turn this formula around to solve for Net Migration:Net Migration = (Pt+10 - Pt) - (B - D)
Population change
Natural increase
Example:If starting Population Pt = 100,000Ending population Pt+10 = 150,000Births in time period B = 30,000Deaths D = 20,000
Then...Net Migration = (Pt+10 - Pt) - (B - D)
Net Migration = (150,000 - 100,000) - (30,000 - 20,000) = 50,000 - 10,000 = 40,000
Panel data is the ideal data for migration studies:(following the same people over time)
Panel data is the ideal data for migration studies:(following the same people over time)
Unfortunately, however, we don’t often have panel data.
From the U.S. Census form, there are two key questions of interest for migration studies:1) Where were you born?2) Where did you live 5 years ago? (not a great measure of migration over one’s lifetime, but a start)
1) Where were you born?2) Where did you live 5 years ago?

A challenge: how to represent data on migration?
ANSWER:Simplify: Show only selective movesShow only the major flows (moves by many people)Show only long-distance moves (e.g., interregional)
Visually Representing Migration Flows: the Migration of Scientists and Engineers, 1982 - 1989 (single, before-after flows; only crossing regions)
Visually Representing Migration Flows: looking just at those scientists and engineers who worked in the Pacific Region in 1989.
Visually Representing Migration FlowsRegional migration, the break-up of states and geopolitical realignment are changing the shape of Africa. The continent is pulling apartand reforming under the combined effects of demography, massive urbanisation and economic, military and religious ambitions. The conflicts and population movements rarely fit into a pattern based on the state, but a confused picture is emerging on which the continent's new frontiers are being drawn. Three main territorial groups are taking shape. The first comprises the two ends of the continent, the second the war zones in the Horn of Africa, the Great Lakes region and the Congo. The third is emerging under the impact of the internationalisation of trade and new ways of exploiting resources.

Population Forecasting: from simple to complex(in each step, you are using more information about the past and existing population)
1. simplest: assumes it stays the same2. linear increase (could use trendline)3. exponential increase(go to Excel file on growth rates)-----------4. age-specific changes (cohort-survival analysis using matrix algebra)
The Cohort-Survival Method(taking the age distribution of the population into account)Or more specifically:Age-specific fertility and Age-specific mortality.“Cohort survival”: how each cohort survives. use matrix algebra to figure it out.Remember: COHORT = AGE GROUPS
Age Group (years)
Population in Year 2000 Survival Rate Birth rate
0 - 9 100 0.95 0 10 - 19 95 0.98 0.220 - 29 90 0.97 130 - 39 85 0.95 0.840 - 49 80 0.9 0.450 - 59 70 0.8 060 - 69 60 0.7 070 - 79 50 0.5 080 - 89 40 0.3 090 and above 30 0.1 0
Why use cohorts?
Because one can have more accurate estimates of fertility, mortality, migration (and thus population levels) if one breaks the population down into cohorts, since behavior is often age-specific. (e.g., cohort survival rates)
as distinctive from crude rates (e.g., mortality).
So, each member of a specific age-cohort (e.g., 20 - 30 year olds) is “at risk” of dying based on age-specific mortality rates. * some people survive into the next cohort* others die
so: persons in the next age group = persons in this age group * survival rate
(the models are descriptive, not explanatory, since no causal inferences are made about WHY population is increasing)
In addition, each female member of a cohort is “at risk” of giving birth. The chances of this are based on age-specific fertility rates. Generally these are highest in the age 20-30 cohort.
so, for each age group, each person is "at risk" for either giving birth or dying. (or also moving -- but we will only include migration in the analysis later)
AND WHY DO WE USE MATRICES, IF THEY SEEMS SO COMPLICATED?
IT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO INCLUDE IN A SINGLE EQUATION BOTH AGE-SPECIFIC BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Use Matrix algebra to estimate population
where P1 is the new population level (by age)and C is the matrix (the sum of the Survival and Birth matrices, S and B). C is the components of change (here just B and S)
In general,
where n is the number of time periods into the future. (the trick is to raise the components of change matrix to the n power).

No place in the United States is likely to escape a long and deep recession. Nonetheless, as the crisis continues to spread outward from New York, through industrial centers like Detroit, and into the Sun Belt, it will undoubtedly settle much more heavily on some places than on others. Some cities and regions will eventually spring back stronger than before. Others may never come back at all. As the crisis deepens, it will permanently and profoundly alter the country’s economic landscape. I believe it marks the end of a chapter in American economic history, and indeed, the end of a whole way of life.
