Course examines the determinants of population change and demographic behavior including household formation and dissolution, marriage and decision-making within households, child bearing and rearing, mortality (including infant mortality) and key forms of human capital investment including schooling and migration. We?ll apply theoretical and empirical tools to investigate the sources and consequences of demographic transitions including recent phenomena such as population aging, the emergence of lowest low fertility, and consider the role of policy instruments in changing demographic behavior.
