Abstract: Beginning in the early 1970s social science research was transformed by new subfields in sociology, anthropology, developmental psychology, social history, and demography that emphasized the scientific study of personal lives. This refocus revolutionized demographic studies by enabling researchers to go beyond the description of populations and aggregate population groups to the behavioral modeling of the individual decisions and actions that constitute population dynamics
