Resumen de Index of Dissimilarity: A Measure of Relative Ageing of Human Populations
Ashraf Khan Kayani, Zill-i Huma, Ahmad Raza
Index of dissimilarity is mostly used as a demographic measure of �evenness� of population distributions. In the present paper, an attempt is made to see if the index can be used as a measure of relative ageing of human populations. Relative ageing is operationally defined as a change in the agedness of a closed population resulting from different population growth rates or the differences in agedness of different age distributions resulting from growth rates held constant over a long period of time
