| Description | | - Tackles directly the difficulties of identifying links between economic and demographic factors
- Focus on Latin America in the 1980s lends the volume strong coherence and broadens its appeal beyond demographers to include Latin America specialists.
| | The papers in this volume focus on the impact of economic fluctuations on mortality, fertility and labour markets in Latin America during the 1980s. An attempt is made to distiguish short-term from long-term influences and effects. Broader policy and institutional factors affecting the continent as a whole are examined as well as demographic consequences of economic changes in individual
countries. |
Readership: Scholars and students of demography; Latin American specialists.
