      • READING MATERIAL
      1. PRESTON HANDBOOOK: CHAPTER 1 (it is a review of the basic tools of Demography). Easy for those who have already studied demography, a bit more challanging for the others (the PRB e-book can help).
      2. PRESTON HANDBOOOK: CHAPTER 2, with particular attention to age- standardization and decomposition.
