Slovak in combination with English
Three main scales of the problems are studied: global, European and Slovak (national and regional context). On a global scale, focus on the methodological problems of forecasting themselves (taking into account education and societal changes on predictions of demographic parameters), but in particular the linkage, impacts on climate change and environmental migration On a European scale, focus on the impacts of demographic developments on ageing, the labour market and the workforce On a national scale, focus on national, regional and local policies: adaptation and mitigation. Demography versus education, demography versus segregation, demography, ageing and migration, demography, depopulation and regional disparity (two-way relationship).
Gaining the latest knowledge from research aimed at linking population and social development
as well as climate change. The graduate of the subject will be able to perceive and analyze
demographic development not only as a process in itself but as a process affecting many other
phenomena and processes, i.e. also in connection with human geography.
