Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2018

The 2018 issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research, “Broadening demographic horizons”, presents a selected set of papers that move beyond the traditional focus on age and sex structures of the population. It covers concepts and developments related to multi-regional, multi-state and probabilistic population projections; population projections by education and labour force status; and causal models of migration. The articles discuss the complexity of the demographic transition and its links with educational transition and urbanisation processes, and the need for a multidimensional context when analysing the relationship between fertility intentions and outcomes. The issue aims to further broaden the understanding of the consequences of demographic change by discussing differences in life expectancy and economic activity in the light of pension reforms and projected economic dependency ratios.
