This course provides an introduction to global family demography, focusing on both theoretical and practical approaches. It will cover seminal theories on family systems and family change with a focus on cross-country comparative analyses, macro-level perspectives, and current debates. Additionally, students will be introduced to essential data infrastructures to conduct research within the field of family demography. Lastly, we will cover data visualization techniques that focus on communicating macro-level and comparative findings.
