PEREZ RANGEL, Mercedes; PEREZ RANGEL, Delia  e  PEREZ RANGEL, Olimpia. Calculation to assess Specific Local Demographic Behavior Index for Decision-Making in Local Governments. Rev retos [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.2, pp. 1-13. ISSN 2306-9155.

A synthetic index was assessed to provide information ---from the demographic point of view--- aiming decision-making of municipal governments for creating development strategies. It was corroborated the absence of this kind of index, both international and national stages. It was considered, in order to determine this specific Local Demographic Behavior Index (ICDLe, Spanish acronym) the behavior of demographic variables and population aging, both from indexes that can be established and or calculated in two years (mostly on census) for an specific municipality. Such index allows, through a single value, to observe the behavior in both demographic variables and population aging and its impact in municipalities development. This research constitutes a step forward in the relationship population-development.
