Thomas Burch addresses an issue that is key for the vitality of our discipline: our ability to deal with (complex) dynamic systems. A population is a dynamic system and most will agree that it is complex if we consider population composition in some detail, the drivers of change, the many feedback mechanisms, and the consequences of demo
