课程简介
This course examines the relationship between population dynamics and economic change. It explores how variations in fertility, mortality, migration, and population growth influence economic development and living standards. The course introduces basic demographic concepts and analytical tools used to study population trends and their economic consequences. Students will also consider how demographic changes affect labor markets, social systems, and public policy. Examples and case studies from Canada and other countries will be used to illustrate how population trends interact with economic outcomes.
