This blog is intended to go along with Population: An Introduction to Concepts and Issues, by John R. Weeks, published by Cengage Learning. The latest edition is the 13th (it will be out in January 2020), but this blog is meant to complement any edition of the book by showing the way in which demographic issues are regularly in the news.

You can download an iPhone app for the 13th edition from the App Store (search for Weeks Population).

If you are a user of my textbook and would like to suggest a blog post idea, please email me at: john.weeks@sdsu.edu

Parlez Vous Démographie?

I recently received a note from Laurent Chalard, a French population geographer, letting me know of the magazine Population & Avenir : www.population-demographie.org. He thought I might be interested in this and he was right. This is a classic twofer--you learn about demographic issues in France and other areas of the world while improving your French reading comprehension at the same time. Dr. Chalard also contributes columns to Les Echos that are related to population geography.
