POPULATION DYNAMICS AND DEVELOPMENT

I AM Dr. MANZI A. STANLEY, A DEMOGRAPHER STATISTICIAN, AND LECTURER OF POPULATION DYNAMICS AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE APPLIED STATISTICS DEPARTMENT. AT THE END OF THIS MODULE, STUDENTS SHOULD CLEARLY UNDERSTAND DEMOGRAPHIC ISSUES EMBEDDED IN THE MAIN THEORIES, CONCEPTS, AND PRINCIPLES. POPULATION IS ALWAYS CHANGING. YOU CAN STUDY THE EFFECTS OF BOTH NATURAL CHANGE FROM BIRTH AND DEATH AND MIGRATION. 

THIS CHANGE HAS IMPORTANT IMPLICATIONS SO COUNTRIES TRY TO MANAGE BOTH POPULATION AND MIGRATION THROUGH GOVERNMENT POLICIES.
