UST 222

World Population and Society

This course examines the powerful forces of population growth and change and how many social, political, and economic challenges facing the world today have demographic change as a root cause. The components of population change - births, deaths and migration are examined as well as the societal transitions that are occurring across the world as a result. By examining global demographic data students examine how these transitions are unfolding in different ways in a range of countries. Particular emphasis is put on the developing countries where most population growth is occurring. Students prepare comparative reports on countries that incorporate qualitative and quantitative analysis. Readings include the textbook, data and literature about each country, and current articles, news stories, and reports.
