Using Population Health Indicators for Global Health and Development

Concepts like life expectancy, poverty, and the demographic transition seem easy and obvious. But there's actually some nuance to them. This book is an easy introduction to the use of these traditional measures, indicators and models of population health. It's ideal for use by students, researchers, policy makers, NGOs, and funders.
