ECO 417 - Economics and Population Analysis

Credits 3
The measurement and behavior of the major demographic variables, fertility, mortality, and migration, and their role in determining the growth and age distributions of populations. Applications include historical demography, the relation of population growth to economic development, urban concentration and crowding, environmental deterioration, the aging of populations, and zero population growth. Population policy and prospects for both the near future and the longer run are also considered. Students at the junior or senior level in majors other than economics are encouraged to consider this multidisciplinary course even though they may not have taken ECO 231 and ECO 232.
