This course will use economic analysis to assess the impact of rapid population growth on economic development, the environment and economic inequality. It will analyze the rapid "graying" of the industrialized countries and their struggle to cope with international migration. It will assess the causes of urban decay in the North and the explosive growth of cities in the South. The course will consider household-level decision making process; the effects of changing family structures; and the need to improve the status of women.
