title: [Demographic measures].
abstract: "In this article, several measures of comparing demographic phenomena such as birth, death and migration in different years or in different population categories are discussed.  In order to measure these phenomena, the demographic events occurring to persons with the same set of characteristics (i.e. with the same age, sex, marital status, place of residence etc.) are related to the number of persons in the category characterized by these same features."  The geographic focus is on the Netherlands.  (summary in ENG)
