The main goal of the course is to provide specialized knowledge to students who have the basic knowledge in population analysis and are interested in deepening the analysis of geographical mobility and the evaluation of its direct effects on policy design.

The course consists of 13 lectures covering the major scientific fields of human mobility:

01 Introduction on population mobility

02 Theoretical approaches to geographical mobility (I)

03 Theoretical approaches to geographical mobility (II)

04 The main effects of mobility on population distribution and its demographic structures

05 Sources and data for the study of migratory flows

06 Direct and indirect assessment of migratory flows

07 Probability tables for the study of geographical mobility

08 Construction and analysis of input-output tables

09 Gravity models for human mobility

10 International migration: Refugees and immigrants / old and new migratory flows

11 External migration and internal movements in Greece

12 New forms of mobility in Greece

13 Presentation / Commentary / Discussion with working groups

The students are evaluated for their final projects as well as their active participation in the course.
