assignment Brief
Research Essay, 2000 words 10%, due Monday 13 June 202 2 12PM (40%)
Each person writes an individual essay.
Word count does not include abstract (optional), captions, tables, figures, or references.
Formatting: A4, font size 11 or 12 , line spacing 1.5 lines , moderate margins (Top and bottom: 2.54 cm, left
and right: 1.91 cm).
In your essay you must:
- Identify one population-related issue in the context of specific country or region of your choice.
- Explain the connections to demographic concepts, themes, and/or theories.
- Show evidence that you have a clear understanding of the issue of your choice.
- Show evidence that you have a clear understanding on how to interpret associated
trends/patterns/statistics of the issue of your choice and relate/use them to strengthen your
argument.
Your essay will need to include a clear problem statement (see Page 3), and a literature review of the topic
at hand linked to the socio -economic/political/cultural contexts of your country/region case study. Highlight
any policy implications/debates if applicable. The use of graphs/tables where appropriate is highly
recommended.
I am giving you flexibility when defining what a population-related issue would be. These could be lowest
low fertility in South Korea, family planning programs in Sub-Saharan Africa, ageing and the workforce in
Japan, the youth bulge in developing countries, left-behind children of migrant workers in China, inequality
in reproductive health outcomes among women in middle income countries, brain drain/brain gain debates,
delayed/non-marriage among young adults in East Asia, immigration debates in Australia, ageing rural towns
in the US/UK, climate change-induced migration in Bangladesh/Pacific, the demography of conflict areas,
housing affordability, population and infrastructure pressures in mega cities etc.
Please submit your essay topic ideas and associated problem statement (max 200 words) to your tutor by
the end of Week 8 to get feedbacks on its suitability and feasibility for a 2000 word essay.
Students are encouraged to submit their essay to the annual W.D Borrie Prizes that awards the best
undergraduate essay in population-related topics $500 and a certificate.
Entries are closed in end of February 2023 (please check again at the end of this year)
