The Population and Health academic track focuses on the dynamics of population in terms of size, structure, and characteristics, and on both determinants and the consequences of change. Training in sociology, economics, and statistics is incorporated with training in demography, the core discipline underlying population studies. Areas of study include: - components of population change (births, deaths, and migration) and its determinants
- components of population structure (age, sex, family arrangements, urbanization) and its determinants
- the mathematical and statistical patterns underlying demographic change
