This course is designed to familiarize students with demography and demographic analysis. The course explores the characteristics of population (for example, age, sex, marital status) while using demographic analysis (data from surveys, vital statistics, and censuses) to build a basis for explanation of specific population trends in selected areas. There is emphasis on Canadian data and the implications of the current Canadian population structure for our future.
