[T]he editors have delivered a book that will serve as a benchmark in demographic research for the next 25 years…. Champion and Falkingham have brought together contributions that collectively provide an authoritative portrayal of the transformations occurring over the last quarter of a century. Whilst each chapter offers new insights into changes in the structure and composition of the population or the underlying behavioural processes and their outcomes, the volume as a whole provides a comprehensive and very useful synthesis of the complex and interrelated nature of socio-demographic dynamics. It is indeed a worthy successor to Joshi’s collection published in 1989 and one that I feel sure that many academics and policy makers will refer to in the years ahead.
