Description:	As was documented in the proceedings from the 2007 applied demography conference (Murdock and Swanson 2008 ) , we see in this current edition that the fi eld of applied demography continues to evolve as its stakeholders become involved in the emerging trends of the twenty-fi rst century. One of the obvious areas of evolution is the extension of applied demography beyond the United States. In this volume, there are papers that deal with applied demography in Australia, Canada, Estonia, and Mexico. This volume contains selected papers from the second post-2000 national conference on Applied Demography, which was held in San Antonio, Texas, on January 10–12, 2010, under the sponsorship of the Institute for Demographic and Socioeconomic Research at The University of Texas at San Antonio. The conference was attended by more than 120 people, representing a broad range of interests. In addition to a plenary luncheon address by Tom Messenbourg, the Acting Director of the U.S. Census Bureau, the conference featured 20 regular sessions, a poster session, and several panels, with more than 75 presentations. After the conference was completed, the editors of this volume sent an invitation to authors to submit their works for possible publication. The submissions resulting from this invitation were then sent out for peer-review, and those found to be acceptable are included in this volume. This volume serves as an important update to the one published in 2008 and, like it, should be of interest to practitioners of applied demography, students, and private and public-sector stakeholders wondering what answers demography can offer in addressing important public and private sector issues.
