  • Title: Population reproduction: a method of breakdown and estimation.
    Author: De Santis G, Livi Bacci M.
    Journal: Popul; 1998; 10(2):245-66. PubMed ID: 12157944.
    Abstract:
    "This article shows how, working with a number of loose hypotheses, a classic measure of the reproduction rate...can be broken down into a series of multiplicative components, each of which reflects a specific dimension (intensity or frequency) of nuptiality, mortality, fertility and, if required, migration.... A number of simple algorithms are proposed for calculating the mean [maternal] age at birth and for estimating the proportion of women who are married at this age. An application to England, France and Germany establishes the existence and the characteristics of their respective demographic regimes in the [seventeenth] and [eighteenth] centuries." (EXCERPT)
