    </titleInfo>
    <abstract>This text is an introduction to concepts and              methods of demographic description and analysis. The              substantial focus is on the demographic development              ofgermany, all data refer to this country. The main reason              for             this focus on a single country is that we              want to show how             the tools of demography can              actually be used for theanalysis of demographic problems.              The text consists of             two parts. Part I              introduces the conceptual framework and             explains              basic statistical notions. This part also includesa short              chapter that explains how we speak of              "models" and why we do not make a sharp              distinction between "describing" and              "modeling" demographic processes. Then followsPart              II that deals with data and methods. In the present              version of the text, we almost exclusively discuss mortality              and fertility data.</abstract>
