Reproduction  (REPRODUCTION)


The theory of population replacement 1 or population reproduction 1 (see § 116) treats population as a renewable resource 2 in the mathematical sense of the term. A distinction is drawn between gross reproduction 3 or gross replacement 3, where no account is taken of mortality before the end of the reproductive period (620-1), and net reproduction 4 or net replacement 4, in which this mortality is taken into account.

  • 1. Also reproductivity. For another sense of reproduction see 601-2.
