What will I learn?
You will learn how to measure and interpret fertility, mortality, and migration using industry-standard demographic methods. The course covers the Demographic Transition Model, population pyramids, dependency ratios, and the cohort-component projection technique. You will analyze urbanization trends, megacity growth, and climate-driven displacement through a geographic lens. Regional case studies from Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, and South Asia ground every concept in real-world data. You will also develop GIS mapping skills and learn to communicate demographic findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
