Handbook

This subject is designed to introduce students to a range of demographic issues that are globally, nationally, regionally and locally significant. The lecture content is designed to enable students to critically study how geographers analyse population movements and issues. Key topics include: food insecurity, climate ‘refugees’, child labour, migration, population growth, Indigenous populations and global patterns of health and disease. In the tutorial classes, students learn tangible skills in designing a questionnaire, collecting data, analysing data and critical thinking.
