The Centre for Population Change (CPC) will be hosting a seminar on diversity measurement given by Professor Jacques Poot from the National Institute of Demographic and Economic Analysis at the University of Waikato, New Zealand.
This seminar is part of the CPC seminar series and will take place today, 15 October 2015 at 15.00 in Room 1039 of Building 2.
Anyone is welcome to the seminar although it will be of particular interest to students and staff of the Faculty of Social, Human and Mathematical Sciences.
Professor Poot’s research interests include all aspects of the economics of population (such as migration, fertility, labour force, and ageing) and especially the geographical dimension of these topics.
He currently co-leads a large research project on regional population change and socio-economic consequences. The project is called Nga Tangata Oho Mairangi and is carried out by researchers at NIDEA, Massey University in New Zealand and the public policy research institute, Motu.
Previously, Professor Poot led several other collaborative research projects, including on the economic integration of immigrants in New Zealand, and on migrant diversity and regional disparity in Europe.
Professor Poot has been working in recent years particularly on international and internal migration, the economics of cultural diversity, local labour markets, regional development, housing markets, and forecasting.
