From the reviews: "This volume ... is a most welcome contribution to the research literature. ... This book could grace any sociologist's book shelf. It would strongly benefit demographers to be exposed to these fine-grained analyses ... . It is also useful to comparative international research. The sophistication of the analytical approaches ... could be useful in a senior demography course, or certainly in a graduate course."
