As the Population Clock Winds Down or Speeds up? Demographic Stories: Apocalyptic, Opportunistic and Realistic

Summary/Abstract: It is our purpose to offer an analysis of the theoretical models used to research demographic and population change. The purpose of our theoretical perspective is to justify the extensive use of qualitative research in demography. Over the course of time the variables that influenced demography have changed, reality captured in the theoretical models offered. Nowadays we notice the need not only of combining theoretical models with empirical research in demography, but also the need for complex research that offer both a quantitative approach and a qualitative understanding of this complex phenomenon. We are witnessing population change at a rapid pace.
