AP Human Geography
Unit 2 – Population and Migration
Topic 2.9
What makes the cohort analysis approach limiting when applied to predicting future patterns in aging populations?
It falsely assumes all cohorts will follow similar lifespan trajectories based solely on historical data without considering future developments that might alter these trajectories.
Its accuracy diminishes for predictions involving smaller groups within a population due to lack of sufficient data points from smaller cohorts for making accurate predictions.
It doesn't differentiate between urban and rural ageing patterns.
It relies heavily on past trends, which may not always accurately predict future behavior due to various unpredictable factors impacting demographics over time such as disease outbreaks or technological advances affecting life expectancy.
