| Summary: | An increased understanding of Latin American population trends, their causes and consequences, is important for scientific and practical reasons. Thus far, thorough demographic studies of the region and its various parts have been relatively few. A factor which has impeded such research in the past and will continue to do so in the future (though presumably to a lesser degree) is the absence of truly adequate census and vital statistics data. One particular pitfall to be avoided in future work is that of being led to completely incorrect conclusions by taking at face value data which are in fact highly inaccurate. |
