Online International Autumn School “Frontiers in Demographic Research”
The Online International Autumn School "Frontiers in Demographic Research" was held from October 7 to November 25, 2020, and organized by International Laboratory for Population and Health at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (Russia)
Course description
During the last decades, important methodological approaches for studying mortality and health have been developed in demography and related disciplines. We have invited the leading international scholars to present their cutting-edge research. The course provided an opportunity to learn state of the art in different fields of demography, including methods for measurement and analysis of the levels, components, and determinants of mortality and health; spatial mortality analysis; design and methods of epidemiological studies; digital demography; responses to low fertility.
