Population Studies

Population study has been determined at any given time by the social situation which indicated the investigation of a particular problem and by the interest of workers rather than by any "logical" development. This is shown by the rapid shift in interest from immigration to differential fertility, to future growth, to international growth and changes, to the internal migration and distribution of people, and to the consequences of these changes. Population study has also been one of the branches of social science which best shows the value of quantitative studies using statistical methods. If population study retains its close relation to practical interests, it seems likely that it will devote more and more effort to the investigation of international population questions, to population policies, to the search for causes of differential fertility, and to the internal distribution of people in the nation
