Demographic measurement: nuptiality, mortality, migration and growth
Demographic measurement: nuptiality, mortality, migration and growth
This article presents the principal ways in which nuptiality, mortality, migration, and population growth are currently measured in demography. It follows on from the article Demographic Measurement: General Issues and Measures of Fertility, the first part of which discusses some general issues relating to demographic measurement. The section on nuptiality covers indices of both level and timing of marriage, divorce, and cohabitation. Crude and specific rates are presented along with synthetic or hypothetical cohort measures. Synthetic cohort measures of nuptiality include the total marriage rate, the total divorce rate, gross nuptiality, net nuptiality, and a period life table-based measure of the proportion of marriages ending in divorce. The definitions of the main types of nuptiality and mortality measures are given in tabular form

Abstract
This article presents the principal ways in which nuptiality, mortality, migration, and population growth are currently measured in demography. It follows on from the article Demographic Measurement: General Issues and Measures of Fertility, the first part of which discusses some general issues relating to demographic measurement. The section on nuptiality covers indices of both level and timing of marriage, divorce, and cohabitation. Crude and specific rates are presented along with synthetic or hypothetical cohort measures. Synthetic cohort measures of nuptiality include the total marriage rate, the total divorce rate, gross nuptiality, net nuptiality, and a period life table-based measure of the proportion of marriages ending in divorce. The definitions of the main types of nuptiality and mortality measures are given in tabular form
