In the last edition of The Source we reported on a short course on Demography for non-demographers held recently at Statistics NZ. This course was held over two mornings and covered a range of topics on demography including demographic issues and theories, population structure, ageing, ethnic diversity, immigration issues, the concept of cohort, standardisation & indices and life tables. Statistics NZ are now assessing the feasibility of running a repeat of this course.
