Full description:	This course pays particular attention to the causes and consequences of population change. Discussed topics will include fertility decline and changes in the age pattern of family formation, childbearing outside marriage, changes in partnership behaviour (cohabitation, marriage, separation, divorce), the context of fertility, population ageing, mortality and life expectancy, migration into Europe, and the policy implications of recent demographic trends. The course aims to familiarize students with key concepts, major debates, and recent research associated with the main population processes and trends in European countries and puts them in their socio-economic context. Students will also be introduced to methods and data sources used in the study of population and social demography. The aim of the course is to help students acquire a basic "literacy" of the leading ideas and research directions in the field of population studies. Demographic methods and measures are only covered to the extent necessary to understand substantive issues.
