Demography
1994

Dr Christabel Young retired in December 1998 from her position as a Fellow in the Demography Program, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University. Dr Young specialises in Australian demography, and in particular the family life cycle, women's labour force participation, children leaving home, mortality, population projections and population policy. One of the key themes in her work is the use of cohort analysis instead of the more common calendar year approach.
