Each of five sessions discuss measures that can be used for a different aspect of diversity, both residential and in key demographic indicators of migration, household structure and economic activity. The input reviews evidence that can paint a national picture, change over time, change between generations and differences between local areas. The focus is on ethnic and religious diversity, but the same methods can be used to measure social characteristics.
The practicals focus on sub-national profiles. Spreadsheet (Excel), statistical and mapping software are available for use by all participants.
