Demographic analysis ¹ is that branch of formal demography which controls for the effect of population size and structure on demographic processes ² and isolates the effects of demographic processes of interest from the others, the latter of which are called competing processes ^3★. It also studies the relations between demographic variables and how they interact to form population structures. A distinction is made between cohort analysis ⁴ or generational analysis ⁴ which focuses on a well defined cohort (cf. 117-2) followed through time, and cross-sectional analysis ⁵ or period analysis ⁵ which focuses on the demographic phenomena that occur during a precise time interval (such as a calendar year) among several cohorts.
