These are the
proceedings of the fourth international conference organized by the
International Association of French-Speaking Demographers, which was
held in Montreal, Canada, in June 1988. The 72 papers are organized
under three general topics, all of which are concerned with both theory
and methods. The first session presents a general review of what has
been learned about the study of differences in demography, including
differential fertility and mortality. The second session looks at
methods used to analyze such differences. The third session goes
beyond the description of the methodology to focus on epistemological
aspects. The geographical scope is
worldwide.
