This course outlines the theoretical basis of demography and explores the demographic variables that reflect the past, present, and future of our society. Lectures and labs expand on the complexities of the seemingly simple expressions of birth, death and migration in Canada. Spreadsheet analysis is the basis for exploration of population comparisons, change and prediction within plant, animal, and human populations. The possible impacts of these predicted population changes on Canadian society will be covered in the concluding lectures. Lect: 2 hrs./Lab: 1 hr. Course Weight: 1.00 Billing Units: 1
