This course is aimed at those with a working knowledge of demography but who have a need to expand this into the use of estimation and forecasting. The morning sessions will focus on relatively simple methods of estimating subnational populations. We then move onto more complex cohort-component methods. In the afternoon we learn how to forecast future populations and experiment with varying our assumptions about future demographic trends.

Please note that a portfolio of demographic-related course is offered at CMIST over a five-day period. As noted below, participants are assumed here to have prior knowledge of Demographic Concepts and Methods, but if not, they may be interested in taking this course on days 1 and 2.

This standalone course on Population Estimating and Forecasting takes place on day 3 and acts as a foundation course for those with no experience of this topic who may be taking the course on using the ‘POPGROUP’ software which take place on days 4 and 5.

This course is designed for current and potential users of demographic data who may be wanting to learn estimating and forecasting. Participants wishing to get skilled up in this topic area might be postgraduate or other established academics or be from local/national government, health service, emergency services or business backgrounds.
