Abstract

Labour and Population Economics is an applied course designed for Master’s students in Population and Development and other students, interested in social science and economic research. The course introduces students to traditional and contemporary topics in labour and population economics, with an emphasis on empirical methods and applied analysis. Topics covered include the functioning of the labour market, the supply and demand for labour, labour market institutions, wage structure and wage determination, human capital and the returns to education, and evaluation of labour market policies. The course also demonstrates selected topics in demographic and health behaviour in different contexts.On completion of the course, students will be able to understand the relationship between theory and empirical approaches to the labour market and population economics, acquire data analysis skills in applied labour market research, and apply empirical findings to policy issues. Though there are no strict prerequisites, decent knowledge of statistics and data management experience would be helpful.
