Journal of Religion and Demography

Aims & Scope

How fast is the Muslim population growing in Europe?

What is the role of fertility, mortality, and international migration in explaining differences between religious and non-religious people groups?

How is religion changing our world today?

The Journal of Religion and Demography (JRD) explores these questions and other relevant topics.

JRD is the only journal to feature annual estimates for religious and non-religious affiliation by continent, pairing them with scholarly analyses from diverse disciplines such as social science, demography, history, and geography.

Each issue presents summaries of findings, sources, and methods, along with their implications for the demography of religion.

All articles are peer-reviewed and the target audience is anyone interested in demographic trends and developments regarding religion.
