Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course covers selected major topics from the area of population studies, which characterize post-modern societies in Europe with focus on the central European countries. While I will cover most of the key topics of the field, this is not a full course in the study of the population issues. There are no formally prerequisites, but reasonable exposure to sociology, research design, and some experience with quantitative data analysis are a significant benefit. Most of texts included in the background and seminar reading are to be provided in Pdf. format.
