Multiregional Demography
Multiregional demography extends the classical tools of mathematical demography — the life table, the Leslie matrix, and stable-population theory — from a single closed population to a system of interconnected regions linked by migration. Developed by Andrei Rogers, it tracks people not only by age but by region of residence, modeling birth, death, and interregional movement simultaneously. The result is a unified matrix framework that yields multiregional life tables, projections, and stable regional population shares, making it the foundation for analyzing how migration shapes the size and distribution of populations across space.
