Resumen
MIRO G., Carmen A.. Demography in the 21st century in Latin America. Pap. poblac [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.50, pp.13-22. ISSN 2448-7147.
In this article an account of the Demography appearance in Latin America and of its main research lines during the 20th century is made, largely oriented to analyze the evolution of the demographical dynamics and to prepare projections to allow knowing the populations' possible future evolution, whose results were of advantage for the governments to adopt measures in order to modify the demographical behavior of the population. In a similar way and according to the new social, economical, and demographical realities, new application fields are proposed as well as collaborations of the theory and demographical methods with other scientific disciplines in respect to demographic transition, population's geographical concentration, employment, international migration, family, education, poverty, environment, sustainable development and computing application to demographical studies.
