Abstract: Formal demographic models are useful to describe and compare populations through time and space. But these models are evolving over time, as we gain new insights from population processes. In this talk, I demonstrate how formal demographic methods help to study racial disparities in infant outcomes, and, conversely, how characteristics of racial differences in infant outcomes help to improve demographic models.
