Population size and trends for better planning

This course, Population Analysis for Planners, focuses on using population information and analysis to develop, evaluate, and revise regional, district, and local development plans for multiple areas of concern, including education, health, housing, and community development. It assumes a limited knowledge of population analysis. Lessons provide background and techniques to use population information and demographic tools. The course is suitable and adaptable for professionals at many levels of expertise. It was developed by MEASURE Evaluation with support from the United States Agency for International Development. A related course, Multiple-Decrement Life Tables, builds on the discussion of ordinary life tables in the population planning course.
