Description
This course will expose students to techniques of
population projection and epidemiological modelling. At the end of the course,
students will be able to apply the knowledge gained to derive population
projections for national and sub-national populations using a variety of
methods, and taking anticipated changes in epidemiological and demographic
variables into account.
Students will also have a thorough understanding of
different approaches to demographic modelling, and their limitations.
