The PhD in Population Studies responds to the need to study the demographic dynamics of contemporary societies. In addition to the analysis of the basic components of a population (mortality, fertility, migration), the PhD has incorporated the analysis of emerging topics such as labor studies, aging, environment, family and ethnicity. The latter is a line of research that this program is cultivating given Mexico's ethnic composition and the need to make vulnerable populations statistically visible. In Mexico there are only two doctoral programs in Population Studies, ours is one of them and is attached to the Center for Population Studies founded in 1991, this center is also one of the few that are located in public universities.
To develop in the student the formation of a researcher in the area of population studies related to demographic dynamics and its articulation with social, economic, political, cultural, educational, health, territorial and environmental processes; to enable him/her to design, execute, coordinate and evaluate research projects in an autonomous manner and in interdisciplinary teams to solve scientific, technical and social problems.
To provide students with cutting-edge knowledge related to population studies that will allow them to investigate and propose alternative solutions to society's problems.
To provide the necessary tools and training to enable students to disseminate the products of the scientific and technological work they develop and establish links with the sectors of society.

The following research fields are derived from this LGAC:
Social change in the face of development processes: studies the change in social structures, its consequences and manifestations in the face of development processes, including aspects of success such as the promotion of employment and of failure such as poverty, inequality and vulnerability. It has as its analytical core the migratory processes and the metropolization that occurs in the center of the Mexican Republic.
