Applied demography is clearly evolving as its practitioners become involved in the emerging trends of the 21st century.

This book is derived from the 1st post-2000 national conference on Applied Demography, held in San Antonio, Texas January 7-9, 2007 under the sponsorship of the Institute for Demographic and Socioeconomic Research at The University of Texas at San Antonio. It provides an opportunity to obtain an overview of the current state of applied demography. The work will provide a cross-sectional view of applied demography and an evaluation of its likely future.
