This project will investigate areas of contemporary importance that can only be explored using historic-demographic data. National benefits include (1) gaining a better understanding of how epidemics spread through families and communities, and possible mortality and case-fatality rates, to assist in preparation for future epidemics; (2) improved accuracy in projecting older-age mortality and population ageing in Australia and other countries; and (3) more precise estimates of women's capacity to naturally conceive and carry to term by characteristics such as her age, her partner's age, and her number of previous births. The project will also result in augmentation of a unique publicly available dataset.

该项目将调查只能使用历史人口数据探索的当代重要领域。对国家的益处包括：（1）更好地了解流行病如何通过家庭和社区传播，以及可能的死亡率和病死率，以协助为今后的流行病做好准备;（2）提高了澳大利亚和其他国家预测老年死亡率和人口老龄化的准确性;以及（3）根据妇女的年龄、伴侣的年龄和生育次数等特征，对妇女自然怀孕和分娩的能力进行更精确的估计。该项目还将扩大一个独特的公开数据集。
