This repository includes the scripts and materials for an introductory module in population geography at the Department of Human Geography at Lund University. The module is divided into three lectures (8 hours total) which cover the basic processes and drivers in the field of population geography. Currently, these lectures contain modules on:
- Mortality
- Fertility
- Internal & International Migration
- Population Ageing
The original PDF files for the presentations are unfortunately too large and I will find another way to present the materials used in the lectures. I might instead add shortened versions or handouts over the coming months and during the revision of the course.
The original graphs and maps can be found in this folder. While the graphs should be easily visible in the presentation it also contains the GIF files which do not work in the PDF files. However, the GIF files are also directly in each respective slide.
The data used is sourced from a wide variety of sources but relies heavily on the Human Mortality and Human Fertility databases, as well as Eurostat and the World Bank. All of these utilize corresponding R packages to directly load the data into the R sessions, making many parts of this repository easily reproducible. If alternative data was used, I usually provide links for easy downloading of the data in the script.
