GIS 182 Demography
This course focuses on demography, the study of populations. We will examine the causes and consequences of population change, both on a national and global scale. By exploring fertility, mortality, and migration rates, we will analyze how these factors impact health distribution, composition, and labor markets in societies. The course is comprised of lectures and class discussions, with a focus on current and potential policy. As well, students will be introduced to demographic databases and use mapping technology to develop practical skill sets. Cross-listed with SOC 182.
