Outline and objectives

An introductory course in demographic methods, starting from the basics of elementary statictics, and based on that, teaching how demographers measure population growth, mortality, fertility, marriage, and age structure.

Goal

1.Understand elementary statistics
2.Understand basic concepts and measures
3.Understand age-specific rates and probabilities
4.Understand fertility rates

Default language used in class

英語 / English

Method(s)（学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. ）

Worksheets (exams) are delivered in the lecture for better understanding and students should calculate and fill it in.
