  Lecture: Demography and Demographic Methods for Public Health: Introduction, demographic data and population growth
  

  This lecture will cover the structure of the class and discuss what demography is, and what it can add to public health research. We will then delve into sources of demographic data, and the pros and cons. Next, we will cover population structures, population growth (methods), demographic dividend, and methods for calculating dependency ratios. The course will have a lab creating population pyramids, and calculating dependency ratios and population growth.

  Lecture: Fertility
  

  This lecture will cover theories of fertility decline, what makes fertility change, low fertility and sex ratios. We will then focus on different methods for calculating fertility, learn about lexis diagrams and periods vs cohorts. We will then move to look at fertility differentials and policy and fertility. We will have a discussion session based on the readings and a lab using the methods learned in class.
