Demographic projections are one of the few "laboratories" that can be used in the social sciences. Through this course, students will learn to make population projections using the so-called "component method", which consists in separately projecting each of the variables that affect the growth of the population and then apply the results of these projections to an initial population, to see what might be the future evolution of its volume and composition by sex and age.
The objective of the subject is to ensure that students learn to make projective analysis, by establishing reasoned hypotheses about the evolution of births, deaths and migration. The results allow students to assess the extent of changes in the demographic behavior of the population and the impact of social policy measures related to these changes.
