Population and Development

This course explores the complex relationship between population dynamics and sustainable development and seeks to understand the influence of social determinants for health and well-being.

Students examine how fertility, mortality, migration, and demographic transitions shape economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social change.

Case studies from diverse global regions highlight pressing challenges such as declining birth rates, aging populations, urbanization, and migration.

No prior technical background is required; the course emphasizes critical thinking and discussion over statistical methods.
