Course Content
The study of the measurement of the size, composition and changes in the numbers of people and the related functions of fertility, mortality and migration. Firstly, the basic sources and measures of demography (i.e.: rates and ratios of fertility, mortality, migration; population estimation/projections, life table etc.) are introduced. A special focus is given to the theories and policies of population control (i.e. fertility control – family planning and migration policies) and the role of social sciences in demographic analyses.
