Description:
This course covers a range of advanced methods of demographic analysis, including: multiple decrement life tables; health expectancies; an introduction to event history analysis; the use of type 1 and type 2 rates in demography and sources of bias in event history data; parity-specific measurement; empirical and relational model life tables; models for age patterns; stable population theory; selected topics in population projections; and elements of linear algebra and matrix models of population dynamics.
Previous knowledge of Demographic methods is assumed. Typically, students would be familiar with the dynamics of population size and growth; age-sex structures; principles of demographic measurement; key demographic rates and measures; direct and indirect standardisation; life tables; current methods for making population estimates; and the period and cohort perspectives.
