SEGREGATION, INTEGRATION, POPULATION CHANGES- HOW TO MEASURE IT? Two days short course at CCSR, University of Manchester. A few places are left. DAY 1 - 5th September 2007 MEASURING DIVERSITY, SEGREGATION AND INTEGRATION During this workshop various measures relating to different aspects of the concept of diversity will be presented and discussed, at residential level as well as in other key demographic areas, such as household structure or labour market participation. Sessions will include: 'Indices of diversity, integration and segregation', 'Household Structure', 'Labour Market participation'. Practical sessions will focus on obtaining sub-national profiles. DAY 2 - 6th September 2007 MONITORING POPULATION CHANGE WITH AN ETHNIC GROUP DIMENSION The ethnic composition of many local areas is changing. Monitoring and projecting that change is a core research activity in support of community cohesion, housing and other policies. The workshop will take a demographic approach which measures both population change and migration, showing dispersal of new communities from urban to suburban areas. It will include sessions on populations estimates; migration and natural change within the UK, fertility and morality, regional projections published by Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and projections for local authority areas using CCSR software POPGROUP.
