The Projection of Population, Households, Housing and Residential Land Use

  • Chapter
Land Use Simulation for Europe

Part of the book series: The GeoJournal Library ((GEJL,volume 63))

Abstract

Understanding the changing demographic composition and spatial distribution of the population throughout Europe presents a major challenge to the European Commission and, in particular, to those concerned with formulating policies that strive to meet European Union (EU) objectives of reducing inequality across member states and regions. In general, these policies aim to redistribute revenues towards the less developed states and towards the poorer regions, many of which are peripheral in terms of geographical location with respect to the core of the EU. Demographic statistics play an important role in the procedures and equations through which funding is allocated and population volume counts are used as measures for standardizing familiar indicators of development such as gross national product and unemployment.
