Abstract

This methodological paper gives a brief overview of qualitative methods and their applications in demography. We argue that a qualitative approach can improve the comprehension of population trends, especially, when they are very complex and occur rapidly. Qualitative methods also allow for a better understanding how local cultures influence demographic behaviors. We present a few examples of qualitative demographic studies, including our own research on family formation in Poland.
