The Population Studies Group at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London offers the self-study course: Introduction to Demographic Methods and Population Analysis for students and professionals.
The course contains 28 interactive lectures, grouped into 3 modules. Topics include the basics of the measurement and analysis of fertility, mortality and migration, but also cover population projections, life table applications, and population models.
No prior training in demography or mathematics is required, and users can elect to focus on a selection of the sessions only.
These materials were developed in 2014-’15 for the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) with financial support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and is now made available through LSHTM’s Open Study platform.
