Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The first session (2 hours) will focus on the rationale and the methodology for projecting populations by level of education. It will also present the main results of projections in several case studies in terms of future human capital, particularly the translation of former investments in education (increases in enrolments) into levels of education in the population of working age. Other important aspects are the momentum of education growth, which shows in how long it takes for an improvement to be spread through the whole working-age population and the possible influence of education on reducing fertility as fertility decreases as education increases both at the individual and aggregate levels.
In the next sessions, the students will be taught all the data manipulation necessary to produce population projections by level of education. Each student will choose a country (from a list of countries provided by the lecturer) and implement projections including the following:
- Data mining for the base-year estimates (population, fertility, mortality, migration, and transition) by age, sex and levels of educational attainment.
- Scenario definition and implementation into the PDE
- Discussion of results.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The students will present the projections they have realized during a 30 minutes session (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for comments). They will write an essay on the projections in a 5-10 pages document. Presentation and essay will each count for half of the final mark.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The students will learn the techniques to do population projections by levels of education. This in turn can be applied to do ¿simple¿ population projections and any other multistate population projections (by geographical area, ethnicity, ecological zone, etc.).

Prüfungsstoff

The course will comprehend a mixture of formal teaching and empirical applications. The projections use the cohort component method extended for multiple states i.e. education categories. The students will use the PDE Projections software that was developed at IIASA for multi-state population projections modeling. The software can be downloaded free of charge from the IIASA website at: www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/POP/pub/software.html
