人口結構是影響社會發展或形構社會問題的重要背景機制，且人口結構的變遷更常讓這些社會問題呈現持續性與跨世代性的動態後果，高齡化趨勢下萌生的健康不平等即是一例。因此以人口角度來觀察與探究社會議題有其重要性，這也是為何人口學乃是社會學門裡的傳統領域之一。
此外，考量社會學的研究取向著重於對社會問題的背景、模式與趨勢進行通盤性的描繪與剖析，而社會工作的研究取向則強調社會問題之解決方案的發展、服務與執行後，本課程將結合兩學門之所長，針對台灣百年來的人口變遷趨勢（尤其是高齡化議題）以及其帶動的社會問題進行討論。一方面以社會人口學的視野對其建立基礎性的實證認識，另一方面則結合社會工作的視角來瞭解國內外因應人口變遷趨勢之應對政策的方向與實施現況，以期培養同學獲得對台灣人口問題之理論面與實務面的雙重訓練，並發掘可能解決高齡化持續趨勢下衍生之社會問題的策略。
本課是「高齡化社會與產業」跨科際課程群組的基礎課程，預計培養同學：
1. 具備社會人口學的基本概念。
2. 對台灣百年來的人口組成與變遷趨勢有清楚認識。
3. 瞭解高齡化、少子化、與青年世代議題間的串聯關係。
4. 能發掘人口趨勢下衍生的社會問題。
5. 瞭解面對人口趨勢之應對政策的精神、實施現況與優劣之處。
雖然本課程屬於「高齡化社會與產業」學程，但基於各年齡/世代群體所各自面對的人口脈絡常互有連動影響，繼而共譜人口趨勢（如少子化加劇高齡化、青壯年之工作環境造成少子化與影響對高齡化社會的負擔能力等），本課程所討論的人口議題故不僅止於高齡化現象，而希冀兼顧各階段的人口議題，以期培養同學對整體人口現象與其互動關係的完整視野與背景知識。Population structure is an important background mechanism that affects social development or structures social problems, and the changes in population structures often cause these social problems to show dynamic consequences of sustainability and transgenerationality. This is an example of health inequality arises under the trend of hypertrophy. Therefore, it is important to observe and explore social issues from a demographic perspective, and this is why demographics are one of the traditional areas in the social community.
In addition, considering the research orientation of society, it focuses on the general description and analysis of the background, model and trends of social problems. After the research orientation of social work emphasizes the development, service and execution of social problems, this course will combine the development, service and implementation of the two schools to discuss the trends of population change in Taiwan over the past century (especially high-altitude issues) and the social problems it has brought. On the one hand, we establish a basic and practical understanding of social demographic perspectives. On the other hand, we combine the perspective of social work to understand the direction and implementation of policies of the country's domestic and foreign population trends, in order to cultivate students to obtain double training on the theoretical and practical aspects of Taiwan's population problems, and explore strategies that may solve social problems derived from high-economic trends.
This course is the basic course of the "Higher Society and Industry" interdisciplinary course group, and is planned to train students:
1. Have basic concepts of social demographic learning.
2. Have a clear understanding of Taiwan’s population formation and trends over the past century.
3. Understand the relationship between high aging, low birth rate, and youth generation issues.
4. Be able to discover social problems derived from population trends.
5. Understand the spirit, implementation and disadvantages of policies that face demographic trends.
Although this course belongs to the "high-age society and industry" course, the population ties faced by each age/generation group often have a joint impact on each other, thus converging population trends (such as low-birth growth and high-birth growth), and the work environment in the Youth League has caused low-birth growth and Influencing the burden on high-elimination societies, etc.), the demographic issues discussed in this course not only end in high-elimination phenomena, but also hope to consider the demographic issues at all stages in order to cultivate students' complete vision and background knowledge on the overall population phenomenon and its interaction.
