Intro to Demographic Methods
Cost-benefit analysis is a systematic approach used to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of alternatives in order to determine the best course of action. This method weighs the total expected costs against the total expected benefits to assess whether a project or policy is worthwhile. In social policy analysis, it helps decision-makers understand the trade-offs involved in implementing demographic programs, guiding resource allocation effectively.
