This course explores the discipline of demography, or the study of past, present, and future human populations. Lectures and labs expand on the complexities of the seemingly simple expressions of births, deaths, and migration in Canada and the world. Spreadsheet analysis is the basis for comparisons of change and prediction within human populations. The possible impacts of predicted population changes on Canadian and global society will be covered, as will questions about resource use and sustainable population size.
