-Teach basic demographic methods so that students can understand and apply these techniques in research and policy analyses dealing with human populations

-Familiarize students with topics studied by demographers, including population patterns and trends, mortality and health, fertility and family, migration and migrants, and much more.

-Encourage students to think critically about the connections between population and policy issues in and between the United States, the Global South, and elsewhere in the world.

-Provide students with the opportunity to write a polished professional paper on topic/question of interest/use to them that is related broadly or narrowly to population methods and/or issues.

http://classinfo.umn.edu/?jdewaard+PA5301+Fall2016
Class Description:
The health of populations in developing and developed countries is very different. Within countries, great health disparities exist between more advantaged and more disadvantaged populations. When crafting policies that aim to improve population health, it is crucial to know how to measure health and how to think about the health needs of the specific population in question. This course will provide an overview to the factors driving health, mortality, and aging across different populations. In addition, students will learn the best sources of data and measures to use to describe the health status of a population. Furthermore, students will be able to assess policy options that address the health of their population.
