Recenzje

'this book is extremely useful for demographers who want to apply techniques of event history analysis to their data ... The case studies illustrate very clearly a number of important problems demographers are confronted with. In addition, the book throws lights on current research frontiers for some technical issues.' Nico Keilman, Norwegian Central Bureau of Statistics, European Journal of Population 9: 1993
