Series on Population Studies
From 1975 to 2022, the “Series on Population Studies” of the BiB published monographs and collective volumes on current demographic topics.
The content focus was on fertility, family, migration, mobility, aging, social structure and demographic change. The series was aimed primarily at teachers and researchers in the fields of demography, sociology and political science. However, it also provided information on demographic change for academics interested in the field, the media or other areas.
One or two books were usually published each year, which went through a review process. They were published in German or English. Since 2014, the series was issued by Barbara Budrich Publishers. All volumes released through this publisher are available here free of charge as pdf files three years after publication.
