[ES] Entre todas las ciencias sociales, la demografía es la que ofrece una visión más externa, más cuantitativa, de los grupos humanos. Sin embargo, el interés de este volumen no radica en la cuantificación de los fenómenos demográficos, sino en su capacidad para explicar y ayudar a resolver problemas sociales. Las publicaciones especializadas de demografía o población se debaten entre dos orientaciones profesionales casi antagónicas: la que pretende mantenerse en una línea de total neutralidad valorativa y se aplica a mejorar la calidad de los instrumentos de medición, y la que opta por comprometerse de modo más o menos explícito con problemas reales que requieren priorizar valores. Se trata ahora de reflejar el interés por la relación entre la demografía y diversos problemas sociales o económicos específicos, con el objetivo de prevenirlos y preparar soluciones o ajustes a los cambios previsibles a medio y largo plazo.
[EN] Among the large field of human social sciences, demography is, probably, the most comprehensive. Nevertheless, the main aim of this issue is to advance in the knowledge that demography plays in order to find explanations and solutions to social problems. Scientific debates and published papers on demography and populations are focused around two almost antagonist doctrines. One of them maintains a line of neutrality and tries to improve instrumental possibilities of assessment. The other one look for a line of compromise with real problems, and set the values as a priority. With this issue we pretend to underline the importance of the relationship between demography and specific socioeconomic problems to prevent them and to look for future solutions.
