The Gender and Population course provides participants with the opportunity to broaden and deepen their understanding of how gender relations structure a society’s social institutions in ways affecting the definition and realisation of its population’s development goals; to sharpen their analytical skills for examining gender-related obstacles and opportunities in a range of development contexts; to become familiar with a collection of cases from around the world where effective strategies to address gender issues have been implemented successfully; and to study and research in-depth specific gender and development issues of concern to them. The course draws on recent advances in gender analysis and applies them to the field of population and development.
