Course content

1 section • 12 lectures • 3h 53m total length

  • Introduction to the Course6:58

    Explore the statistics and demographics of migration, learn to collect and interpret migration data, identify data sources, and read and calculate key migration indicators.

  • Migration and Demography34:04

    Explore how migration and demography shape population change through births, deaths, and net migration, and examine the demographic transition and its effects on population pyramids.

  • Fundamentals of International Migration18:39

    Explore the fundamentals of migration, distinguishing stock from flow, and internal versus international migration, while introducing typologies, forced vs voluntary movement, and data sources.

  • Data Collection Systems I32:25

    Explore data collection systems for migration, focusing on the census and household surveys, and examine how the six main sources inform evidence-based migration policy under the Global Compact.

  • Data Collection Systems II19:05

    Explore data collection systems for migration, including population registers, administrative sources, and border statistics, and learn how these sources update continuously to track arrivals, departures, births, and internal movement.

  • Estimation of International Migration Statistics 112:58

    Learn to estimate international migration statistics using six data sources, quantify changes over time, and apply the net migration concept: immigration minus emigration, to interpret year-long trends.

  • Estimation of International Migration Statistics 219:30
  • Estimation of International Migration Statistics 316:29
  • Demographic Techniques in the Analysis of International Migration 135:46
  • Demographic Techniques in the Analysis of International Migration 29:11

    Explore crude migration rates: immigration, emigration, net, and gross—using mid-year population, and note the upcoming focus on refined or specific rates.

  • Demographic Techniques in the Analysis of International Migration 37:50

    Explore specific migration rates by age, sex, race, and other categories, and learn to compute immigration, emigration, and net migration rates per 1,000 of the population.

  • Graphical Techniques in the Analysis of International Migration20:36

    Explore graphical techniques for presenting international migration data, including maps with arrows whose width is proportional to migration volume, population pyramids, and visuals for remittances, stock, and migrant shares.

Requirements

  • A very basic knowledge of mathematics, use of handheld calculators or Excel is required.

Description

The course provides post-graduate students, international agency staff, NGO workers, government officials and others working in the field of migration data systems or interested in working in this field with an introduction to the demography of migration, including data sources, data collection, and analysis of migration data. The course also can be considered as a response to the first objective of the Global Compact for migration “Collect and utilize accurate and disaggregated data as a basis for evidence-based policies.” This course will guide you through the difficult issues related to migration statistics and the traditional and well as the modern methods of migration data collection. the course will guide you also to the available datasets of migration developed by international and regional agencies and organizations. No prerequisites are needed to join the course, just basic knowledge of mathematics. I target all of you since this course is not targeting academics only, the course targets all those who are interested to read and understand migration data. Feedback on the course is highly welcome. please feel free to contact me for feedback or any issue related to the course or the materials of the course. That's all about the course and its content.

Who this course is for:

  • post-graduate students, international agency staff, NGO workers, government officials and others working in the field of migration data systems or interested in working in this field.
