I. General demographic patterns1) Demographic transition2) Epidemiologic transition3) “Second demographic transition”4) Differences between less and more developed countries5) Sources of demographic data6) Proximate determinants of fertilityII. Rates1) Definition (exposure and risk)2) Crude rates3) General rates4) Age-specific rates (incl. Infant mortality rates)5) Characteristic-specific rates (e.g., race, education, parity, etc).6) Standardized rates (direct and indirect methods)7) Incidence vs. prevalence8) Relative risk9) Growtha. Balancing equationb. RNIc. Arithmetic, geometric, exponential growthd. “doubling time”e. population momentumIII. Summary measures1) Mean age2) Median age3) Sex ratioIII. Synthetic cohort measures1) Concept of synthetic cohort2) Fertility – e.g., TFR3) Mortality – e.g., Life tables, life expectancy4) Reproduction – e.g., GRR, NRR5) SMAM6) Others – e.g., marriage, divorce, parity-specific total fertility rates 7) Lexis diagramIV. Life tables1) Construction2) Interpretations (synthetic cohort, stationary population)3) Applications other than mortality (e.g., marriage, divorce)V. Population distribution (and changes therein)1) Indices (e.g., dissimilarity, redistribution, concentration, segregation, diversity, etc.)2) Geographic center of population3) Methods of estimating net migrationa. balancing equationb. forward/backward survivalVI. Population projections1) Uses, applications2) Methods and Assumptions3) Inputs and outputs (e.g., survival ratios)4) Projection of age, sex composition only5) Projection of other characteristics (fixed characteristics, variable characteristics)a. Participant ratio method of projectionb. Cohort progression ratiosc. Household headship method6) Net transition
